Dynamically assign ports to VLANs based on source MAC?

Is there a way to configure a port on the 6024 and 3348 switches to dynamically become a member of different VLANs based on the clients MAC that is currently connected to it?

Example

Client A who is a member of VLAN100 connects to port located in a conference room. Based on Client A’s MAC switch port becomes a member of VLAN 100. Later in the day Client B who is a member of VLAN101 connects to the same port located in the conference room. Switch port would then dynamically change to VLAN101.

I believe Cisco implementation of this is called VMPS. In short I want dynamically assign switch ports to VLANs based on the source MAC address of the device connected to the port.

There is no way to configure any model of PowerConnect switch to work with a VLAN Management Policy Server (VMPS). The only dynamic VLAN configuration supported by the 6024 and 3348 switches is GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP), which does not provide the same solution as VMPS.
