/etc/hostname.vlan0 defined. You don't have an Ethernet network of any kind, these files are unneeded and may be safely deleted.
They don't cause damage, and are not involved with PPP in any way. They only cause dhclient(8) to be run and it produces error messages.
I'll repeat, or restate, what I've said previously. The re0 network interface is unused, there is no Ethernet network connected. And the vlan0 network interface cannot connect, because not only is there no Ethernet, it is not an Ethernet network connected via a managed switching backplane deployed with IEEE 802.1Q networking capability.
