Connecting Websphere MQ with another open source Queuing System

Question

Hi everybody,
i work in a company that has already purshaced Websphere MQ as MOM, and we have some clients that unable to buy it. So is it possible that we find an open source queuing system such as ( openMQ, ActiveMQ ....) able of sending messages to a websphere MQ over a secured channel. I couldnt find any site on the internet that's telling me straightforward that this or that queuing system is able to connect with websphere MQ. So i'm begining to believe that it's impossible to have 2 different queuing systems working together and that it has to happen through an application server. Is that true ?? that every queuing system could only send messages to the same system and if not what open source queuing systems i can use with Websphere MQ ?? I'm really puzzled and hope anyone could help.
Thank You

Thanks. James.
I posted the same message to servicemix user forum.
I have tried including jboss client jars and wl jars in classpath. I started servicemix. It looked OK without errors. However when I publish jms meesage in the destination in jboss (servicemix was supposed to sub the msg from the jboss destination and pub it to wl destination), I got the following errors
C:\incubating-servicemix-3.0-SNAPSHOT\examples\jms-bridge>servicemix servicemix.xml
