If the 4500 is one of your core devices then just configure the port as a normal switchport trunk. IMHO EFP's are more suited and designed to be used on customer facing ports (PE->CE) rather than core facing uplinks (P-PE).

Aside from that, the restriction about only being able to peer with MSTP across EFP's is a pretty horrendous one, I was really surprised to find that even Cisco's Rapid PVST isn't supported and it's not on the roadmap :-(
