Yes, you can. Traditionally, you add a BVI (routed bridge domain) interface into your l2vpn domain configuration, which makes it similar to having a 'Vlan' interface as if it were an L3 switch. BVI interface can then be added into protocol hsrp, just like any oither physical interface. If L2VPN domain has outage in all of its subordinate neighbors, BVI will be signalled down, causing HSRP failover. However, BVI also represents a problem, as BVI interface has no ability for traffic shaping, so you're going to have QoS related performance issues when downstream customer interface is only 1GE and your BVI-bound router talking HSRP is connected to backbone at 10GE or higher. For this exact reasons, a few customers (myself included) had asked Cisco tu support Pseudowire Head-End (PWHE) interface to be supported under HSRP, since PWHE can shape. This feature should have been added in recent eXR versions (7.x), but I haven't looked for it myself yet.
