It /might/ be possible to strip the VLAN tags and send the traffic on 
it's way with out the need for all the vlan interfaces.  But, I don't 
know that it will be possible (at least as easily) to re-tag the 
returning traffic.

Something you might consider doing is moving the (un)tagging / trunking 
in to a user space application that can dynamically add and remove the 
VLAN tags with out needing kernel support or vlan interfaces.  -  I'm 
just typing raw theories out my (you know what) and would have to give 
this quite a bit more thought.
