Well, if/when whatever does client-side MLPPP can be configured to use
GRE tunnels as members of a bundle, and assuming I can convince MPD on
the server side to stick a ng_gre node in before the ng_ppp node on each
incoming bundle, then yes, it would help.
Ideally though I just want to encapsulate the PPP frames in UDP to be
directly compatible with MPD on the server side.

I'm not sure what MLPPD is -- Did you mean MLPPP? If so, then yes,
MLPPP is, currently, a core feature of the project I'm working on.
(MLPP is something else entirely I think -- the closest thing to network
protocols I can find is MLPP-over-IP.)
