"The Brocade device supports per port tag-type configuration." from 
the CES/CER/MLX/XMR/MLXe 5.2.0b configuration guide.  I know this 
holds true for 4x10G and 8x10G modules in MLX.

The only limitation that I see at a quick glance on the manual is when 
doing Provider (Backbone) Bridging you cannot specify different 
tag-types for BVLAN, CVLAN & SVLAN on MLX while you can on CER
