J-Flow and Cflow are the same thing as NetFlow, its just that someone's 
marketing and/or legal weenies aren't letting them call it what it really 
is. You can do simple RE-based NetFlow v5 and v8 to a single collector, 
but every new feature in Flow that has been developed since 1999 seems to 
require a services PIC of some kind (v9, exporting to multiple collectors, 
etc).

For the record NetFlow v9 is just as much Cisco proprietary but still 
defacto standard as NetFlow v5 and v8 are. It is IPFIX aka NetFlow v10 
(because its almost the same thing as NetFlow v9 :P) which has been 
submitted to the IETF.

No clue about Olive support of NetFlow export, but I would assume that 
there is no sampling code for traffic to the RE so the answer is probably 
no.
