L2TPv3 could be interesting.  I don't know if it would be the optimal 
way to accomplish what one could do with MPLS VPNs but I'm always game 
to trying.

I was sitting in a meeting a year and a half ago when an engineer from 
Pannaway said that MPLS was a dying technology.  Of course he also said 
that he saw no problem for use to use static routing in our SP network 
and that QoS wasn't needed to support our VoIP deployment across our 
network if our links weren't saturated...  I think he could have 
confused Confucius.
