Yes you can, but you may have to use the laserrescan driver to  
reformat the hokuyo data to look like sick data:
   http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Player-2.1.0/player/group__driver__laserrescan.html

I say that you "may" have to do this, because it's also possible that  
vfh has been updated to handle non-sick-format data.
