If you alrady have l2circuit working between the routers, it's very
simple to get a *port based* l2circuit up. This is a much simpler
configuration than VPLS, since it performs no MAC address learning,
doesn't care about VLAN id's etc. For instance something like the
following:

interfaces {
    ge-0/0/1 {
        mtu 4484;
        encapsulation ethernet-ccc;
        unit 0;
    }
}

protocols {
    l2circuit {
        neighbor a.b.c.d {
            interface ge-0/0/1.0 {
                virtual-circuit-id 9999;
                no-control-word;
            }
        }
    }
}
