The specfic configuration, I think, is one where
the end user has said 1720 and t1 wic, which connects via t1 to my
aggrgation point (an adtran ta5000, in a telco co somewhere), which then
tunnels across my network to a router doing pwe, simply to provide ip
routing to that end user. I don't need physical t1 ports except at the
telco office, but it's been suggested in the docs I saw that even with
pwe3 I still would have to have some kind of 't1' interface hardware
somewhere in the cisco box in order to make it fly.

I may have missed something in your requirements, but why do you need pseudowire at all? Couldn't you simply terminate each customer T1 as a separate routed PPP interface on the TA5000, then backhaul the TA5000 into the rest of your network as "just another aggregation router"?

The TA5000 doesn't work that way, it has no routing or ppp functionality at all. The two primary modes are either cross connect two t1's that are terminated both on the same chassis (creating a point to point link), or shunt a t1 via pseudowire over to some other device in the network for processing, presumably another ta5000 or other device in a remote office. Its totally protocol agnostic in this regard.
