It seems to me like you just want to plug your router directly into the MoCA network, instead of setting up the Actiontec router to do bridging.  In that case, I think you just need to get a MoCA to Ethernet adapter:

Nope. This is the only ONT they are rolling out. The last tech support person I spoke with said their new policy is to not allow ANY customer equipment to be the edge device on residential services. I don't know if that's true, but it would not surprise me. You know how it goes. If you talk to 10 different people, you get 20 different answers.

Will they replace the ONT with a different one that can, if they know
that the alternative is that you're going to drop FiOS for Comcast?
