I believe the M series supports this. Some of the other guys here have been evaluating use of an M7i in a core location with pseudowires to multiple remote J series routers, to transport multiple tagged VLANs to remote locations via a Layer 3 network. The M switches frames between PWs.
 
>From memory, one PW is required per VLAN per remote endpoint. (i.e. 4 VLANs across 3 remote endpoints with switching within each VLAN would require 12 PWs). A Tunnel Services PIC is required in the M series router, plus possibly an Ethernet Services PIC. (though I think the latter was mainly for VLAN mapping in our instance)
 
I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong.
