try:
host# modprobe ppp
before trying it in VE.
and check that ppp module is loaded after that (lsmod).

FC5 doesn't seem to have a 'ppp' module, so I loaded the ppp_generic and ppp_async modules:
root#esm-vs01:~# lsmod | grep ppp
ppp_async 15937 1
crc_ccitt 6209 1 ppp_async
ppp_generic 33109 1 ppp_async
slhc 10561 1 ppp_generic
root#esm-vs01:~#
Still no go in the VE, though:
[root#vs01-vc01 ~]# /usr/sbin/pppd
/usr/sbin/pppd: This system lacks kernel support for PPP. This could be because
the PPP kernel module could not be loaded, or because PPP was not
included in the kernel configuration. If PPP was included as a
module, try `/sbin/modprobe -v ppp'. If that fails, check that
ppp.o exists in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net.
See README.linux file in the ppp distribution for more details.
[root#vs01-vc01 ~]#
I wouldn't have thought than this would be than an unusual requirement, but I see very few references to it on the web.
