You can use logical tunnels to do that. Just choose the right encapsulation on the lt subinterfaces and put one end of the lt into the vpls domain and the other end into the l2vpn just like regular interfaces. I have done this a couple of times in lab environments. 

Of course you will need to be able to use logical tunnels and maybe offer interfaces (on DPC) on MPC it should be "free" as in you only loose the bandwith on the PFE and no interfaces.

It is described on the juniper MPLS/VPN courseware if you happen to have acces to it. I am not sure wheter it is on the juniper website somewhere. They call it stitching an L2VPN to a VPLS.

I think it should work with the iw interfaces as well. I might have tried that as well in labs but i can not remember that for sure.
