Yes there is. You can specify a sl0 device with ifconfig. You then run slip
on a seperate subnet to the other side.

Since Apollo does not support proxy ARP you can't get the other end of
the slip to look like a system on the ring subnet.
Hence you 'loose' a whole subnet.

It does work confortable. I used it for a while running Sun's PC-NFS.
Don't expect a very high performance, but even mounting disks and using 
printers worked well. (Not fast :) )

Ciao,
