There are ways, but it's not recommended. If this is for anything that is 
remotely important, you should purchase some LX GBICs, it's probably more 
reliable (and cheaper) to purchase a bunch off of ebay than to get any 
special cabling you might need for modal adaptation and the hassle when/if 
this won't work as you hope.
