I'm mostly seeing 8 or 16 ports per card for GPON these days.  Chassis 
seem to be ranging from 4-16 slots of line cards (plus some other slots 
for management, uplink, etc.).  EPON density seems comparable.

XGS-PON and 10G-EPON seem to be 4-8 ports per card often in the same 
chassis with GPON/EPON.
