Span Ports on Cat 6500 Switches

Is there any way to increase the span ports configurable on a 6500
switch?

I know you can configure 2 span sessions and add multiple sources and
destinations to each but is there any way to increase this limit of 2?

I already have my probes and sometimes a NAM which takes up one span
port. I have IDS requirements from the security group and now I'm
getting one offs all over the place for database appliances etc....

Is there a piece of hardware that can be purchased to increase this or
would that only allow more sources and destinations but the same amount
of span ports as well?

Thanks for the help.
