How are you starting ppp? In general, there's some scripts in /etc/ppp
(like ppp-up, ppp-down) that actually initialize the device. This is
how it's outlined in the PPP HOWTO and how I've always used it.
If this is the case, just edit those scripts and have them call your
firewall start/stop scripts. That should accomplish the task with
minimal disruption to the system.
