According to people in -questions on 18 Dec of last year, it's
not possible.

I imagine it's because the vlan interfaces don't push their
packets through ether_input, like real interfaces do.

Julian's approach would put the vlan's on ng_ether, which
would push through the code that does the bridging.  Last
December 20 on -net, he said the caode for a VLAN netgraph
node was being donated by "this French committer" (sorry, I
don't remember the exact words he used; I only scanned the
posting in passing, 4 months ago, when VLAN's weren't
important to me).
