2 VLAN's on 1 Port SPAN - CIsco 6500

Currently, I have 2 VLAN's that I'm SPAN'ing using monitor session. I have 2 monitor sessions -- 1 for each VLAN. I have a need now to use a port SPAN for something else, but my 6509 has a limit of 2 monitor sessions.

I need to free up a SPAN so that I can install an IDS. Can I monitor the 2 VLAN's in 1 session as long as traffic bursts don't overwhelm the SPAN port?
