it might work, see the command below (excerpt from ttp://www.elemental.net/~lf/undoc/)

drawback is that you only get limmited support in case of a problem if you use oem sfps.

service unsupported-transceiver

Enables the use of third-party SFP or GBIC modules on Cisco switches but note the warning below.

Example output:

Switch(config)#service unsupported-transceiver
 Warning: When Cisco determines that a fault or defect can be traced to
 the use of third-party transceivers installed by a customer or reseller,
 then, at Cisco's discretion, Cisco may withhold support under warranty or
 a Cisco support program. In the course of providing support for a Cisco
 networking product Cisco may require that the end user install Cisco
 transceivers if Cisco determines that removing third-party parts will
 assist Cisco in diagnosing the cause of a support issue.
