I don't think you want to be playing with the ethernet frame types, this 
won't help you unless you have a pppoe client which uses different 
ethertypes for discovery and session frames.

For each vlan you want to use, you need to set it up in advance on your 
server. Typically, you have 1 ethernet port connected to your switch 
which is in 'trunk' mode, and further you have used the 802.1q/vlan 
support in linux to create 1 or more vlan interfaces, which you can then 
run a pppoe server process on and support clients on that interface. If 
you have a group of vlan interfaces which you will serve the same 
services on, you could create a bridge and add those interfaces to the 
bridge and then be running pppoe-server on that bridge interface instead.
