Sorry my original question may have been lost... You are exactly right... I was confused that show ip bgp ipv4 did not show anything even though I configured bgp with address-family ipv4... Everything shows up under VPNV4... Thanks to everyone for your input/feedback...

Am I missing part of the question here? You can run BGP fine in an addresses family - I do this all the time for vrf-lite on CEs with a session to the PE in each VRF for each VPN. I think it still creates the vpnv4 address family, but you don't have to configure any peers in it. The commands are slightly confusing in this instance though, it *is* still 'show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf ...' to show the bgp table for the VRF, even though you're not using the VPNV4 session.
