I don't know if this is what you mean by passthrough, but I'm running my
router in bridging mode, so it bridges pppoa to pppoe, then running
pppoe and a pppd on the OpenBSD box, so it's actually that that makes
the ppp connection.  Then I can firewall on ppp0 as my internet
interface.

The actual router was the uber cheap (well 35 quid) dabs one with the
Conexant chipset, as previously recommended on here by someone else:
