You can use CAL and the AutoCAD Geometric calculator for this - with its function ILP.

Try e.g. the command:

  
'_CAL ILP(end,end,end,end,end)
and pick first the two endpoints of the line (ray) and then three distinct points defining the 3D face.

Another way (thanks Nuno) is to use the MIRROR3D command - the 3D face will be the mirror plane, and the intersection of the line and its mirror image will be the desired point.
