This is not a cms made simple specific question.

Google is probably your best friend in this case.

or (cough) call Microsoft support

In theory, there is no reason why MSSQL wouldn't work.  Assuming you got the drivers compiled into your PHP server and found the ADODB drivers that work with it.  However, if stuff was coded assuming MySQL (like using LIMIT directly in a query), then you're going to have issues.

It's worth a try if you have time, but you might have issues down the road.
