On LAN cards, with a Sup720/PFC3B, you can do basic MPLS, MPLS L3 VPN
and EoMPLS (port and subinterface based, not SVI, and only regular point
to point pseudo-wires, no VFIs) . Anything more advanced needs
ES/OSM/FlexWAN/SPA/whatever AFAIK.

So yes, you can probably use all your existing cards. :-)
