Yes - and no.  MPLS yes, VPLS no (needs special line cards).

Number of transit providers / peers is pretty meaningless, as soon as you
have a single full table.

Number of FIB entries is what counts - and yes, the 3BXL can hold 
1 million IPv4 routes, or 500.000 IPv6 routes.  Or 500.000 IPv4 + 250.000 
IPv6, or whatever ratio suits you.  MPLS entries also take up TCAM space.

(All these questions have been asked & answered already, btw, and can be
found in the mailing list archives...)
