I was looking for the very same thing a few months ago for a System Spec to
go from an AGS+ to a SynOptics concentrator via FOIRL.  No one (Cisco or 3rd
party vendors) make a FIROL applique.  The best we could do is get small AUI to
FOIRL transceivers.  Several vendors for those, Allied Telesis is one I
remember.

If you find a better solution, let me know.
