Only other coins that use the same algorithm, such as NameCoin.  You can't use it for e.g. LiteCoin, DogeCoin, VertCoin, etc. as they use different algorithms.

You'd have to decide on what coins you'd like to mine, first - depending on that choice, you might have to look into a different ASIC-based miner, or GPU mining, or (though rate) CPU mining.

But that would be something for the Altcoin miing section -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.0
