My 2 cents.
If we're simply talking about what the law should state on marriage, then obviously I'm of the view that any 2 consenting adults should be able to do whatever the frick they like (within reason, I wouldn't support one man making a stew out of another). If they want to stick it in each others bums or scissor 'til the cows come home, what does it really matter?
To be perfectly honest polyamourous relationships do seem weird to me. But if 3 or more people say they love each other and want to get married together who am I to judge? The only issue I have with it, is I can see potential instances where government benefits/provisions/rights as a result from being married in such a polyamourous relationship, might not necessarily be fair for everyone else who is married, for much the same reasons to what SteelCurtain mentioned on page 1.
In terms of the government dealing with it, it would probably be a lot more of a pain in the ass to work out divorces, property rights, mortality decisions and I'm sure many other scenarios which marriage impacts, with 3 or more people in a marriage.
However if it can be worked out (I don't really know, so that's why I have somewhat of a reservation on it), and polyamourous marriages can be granted in such a way that it doesn't give them any more or any less rights than anyone else who is married, then I'm all for it.
