I am looking for a 3D file format that supports instanced components/objects. That is, there is one geometry declaration and then it is instanced in numerous places. Open formats are very much preferred.

Collada (.dae) files seem to have support, according to 5-51 in the 1.4 specification:

The <instance_geometry> element instantiates an object described by a <geometry> element.

Collada is supported by most platforms.
