Yes, incoming routes with labels received from RFC 3107 neighbor can be
programmed to kernel IP table as routes with MPLS label for next-hop
loopback (for outgoing traffic). Unfortunately, BIRD will not insert
corresponding MPLS routes to kernel MPLS table (for incoming labelled
traffic). Although this is probably not a problem for PE router, where
either penultimate hop popping or static decapsulating MPLS routes can
be used.
