I assume both of your macs run NetBSD.
On the server build an /etc/ppp/options like this:
/dev/tty00
57600
noauth
crtscts
passive
<local_IP_address>:<remote_IP_address>
debug
netmask 255.255.255.255
proxyarp

You need to change <local_IP_address> and <remote_IP_address> to appropriate
values for your network (<local_IP_address> can be the same as your ethernet,
<remote_IP_address> must be one valid addr for your ethernet segment).

On the client build a /etc/ppp/options file with
/dev/tty00                            
57600  
noauth
crtscts
defaultroute
debug

On both side adjust /dev/tty00 to the name of your serial port.
