Not 100% on the answer here as I am not sure if I understand 100% of what
you are asking(i.e. any special trunking or VLAN issues). But if you are
merely curious if you can hang a collapsed backbone concentrator(hub,
non-switched) off of a switched port of a Cat5k, the answer is yes.
Switched ports do not require connectivity to another switched port.
Hope that helps.
