I think you have two requirements here.
1) You need to be able to push and pop MLPS labels on a packet.
2) You need to be able to create table entries which match on the MPLS label.

If I remember correctly, both of these are available in POX through the nicira.py file.  The first is done with some extended actions.  The other one is done using the Nicira match extension (NXM).
