Still no 'official' estimate, but this is a reasonable attempt:
http://blog.heritage.org/2009/09/15/metro-delivers-hundreds-of-thousands-to-912-rally/

I didn't verify any of the metro ridership figures (too busy this morning), but using Metro ridership and comparing to the increase in ridership over a 'normal' Saturday after Labor day, and extrapolating from the increased ridership/estimate of people arriving on buses, etc for the inauguration seems reasonable. Their estimate for 9/12 is 313,000 to 433,000 attendees.
