Yep there is an pppd switch called login (it might be +login I can't remember). Include that on the pppd command line or in your /etc/ppp/options file and it will write the user to the utmp file just like normal. It will still write the a_ppp entry but as soon as the user has authenticated (so pppd knows who it's talking to) it will write the utmp entry.
