I pieced together the solution from several different postings.  Forget
NVRAM variables, FAQ is misleading -- do it all in the config file as
with everything else.  Completely working example wasn't to be found so
for the sake of the archive on the list here is what worked:

config interface        wan
        option ifname   "eth0.1"
        option proto    pppoe
        option username "username"
        option password "password"
        option defaultroute 1
        option device ppp # this is the key and was missing from almost
all examples I found

I didn't have to make the node for the ppp device, but here's what it
is in case you need to:

crw-------    1 root     root     108,   0 Jan  1  1970 /dev/ppp
