Yes, use the switchport capture feature.

create the VACL first and then set a switchport as "capture".
 
You can apply the VACL to a WAN interface.
 
Thanks,
Jerry

If you're pushing a full OC-48 worth of bandwidth would you have to have a 10 Gig switchport or could you use an etherchannel of 3 ports?  The way I read Hank's message he needs to capture the full 2.5 Gbps.  Nice workaround though.

Regards,

Mike
