Layer 2 PBR would, of necessity, have to change next hop address (which is destination address) and the next hop would have to change it back to the original. And addresses in layer 2 are MACs (for ethernet that is).

For that you might find it useful if bridging between an external and internal net through a multi-homed PBR box.
