There is NISTswitch, but it is most likely very bit-rotted by now. I would suggest helping Anihudda Bodhra out on the Click port as it would be a great starting point for prototyping MPLS due to how Click will most likely attach to the kernel forwarding paths. The key to success with MPLS is to learn from the layer 2 forwarding stuff in if_bridge; to integrate cleanly with the Ethernet code; to use ALTQ for the token bucket filter and traffic classification policies; and to not break the regular forwarding path.
