Yes. You can do this with ColorMunki. I believe there was a discussion on this here in the archives as well as NorthLight images.

You can only "tone" the output and that hue is followed through the entire tonal range of the print so any color transitions coming from the third party ink will still be there (maybe in slightly different proportions.) As a result, you need to use QTR. This lets you modify the hue axis in the paper curve and get good grayscale prints with third party inks.
