Support for MVPN was introduced for Cisco 7500 and Cisco-7200 with Cisco IOS 12.2(13)T and Cisco IOS 12.0(23)S. Support for Cisco-7500 is in MDFS (eg: distributed switching). Support for MVPN hardware forwarding on Cisco-10000 series router was introduced with Cisco IOS 12.0(23)SX (same features as 12.0(23)S). Don't know about the current state of sharing multicast between VRF. Will look into that. It is certainly supported within a single VRF. The above code requirements are for the PE routers only. P routers need to support good old multicast as well as the CE routers of course.
