A dirty hack can be done to have VLAN-based EoMPLS without
expensive cards. Just configure an additional VLAN on the box,
assign a port to it and connect this single port in the new 
VLAN to a port the VLAN for which you want to have VLAN-based
EoMPLS with a short cable.

Then do PORT mode EoMPLS on this single port. Did not try it
myself but according to my SE this is used by some customers.
