Homelink can learn codes from RF remotes and there are instructions on the
Homelink website for teaching it from an X-10 remote.

You will also need an X-10 transceiver (e.g. RR501 or Leviton HCPRF) which
will receive the RF and send X-10 PLC over the powerline to an X-10 capable
wall switch.

The above model numbers assume you are in N. America.
