Well, I'm thinking Q-in-Q for carrying the VLANs, but it depends on what L2 protocols you're referring to. Things like 802.3ad (link agg) and UDLD aren't designed to span such a network, but you can likely get STP and friends across. I haven't tried without MPLS, but you may need to play with native vlans for BPDUs and such........??
