That is exactly my situation. My provider gives me static address from private network (IP=192.168.X.Y, NM=255.255.255.0, GW=192.168.G.W) and realworld address of VPN server (VPN_IP=A.B.C.D). I am using custom Oleg's firmware version 1927-CR3c.

My solution was:

In web Interface select PPTP as option, put IP as Ip address, and A.B.C.D (VPN server address) as Gateway. Save it and restart the router.

using telnet, created /usr/sbin/post-boot with foolowing lines in it

#!/bin/sh

route add -net 192.168.X.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth1
route add A.B.C.D gw 192.168.G.W eth1

and enabled boot-local as

chmod a+x /usr/local/sbin/post-boot
flashfs save
flashfs commit
flashfs enable

restarted router.

After that A.B.C.D is pingable and pppd happily establish connection.

I don't know why, but I failed to add neccessary routes through web-interface, through routing page. But anyway it is working this way and it is fine for me.

Well, the problem is what firmware applies these routes to the external interface (which brings up upon connection), not the one used to communicate with PPTP server...
