I know Brocade will gladly accept CDP from Cisco devices and display it in a show fdp neighbor.
If you enable CDP on a Brocade chassis will it send CDP packets out as well as FDP?

As far as I know, you can only tell Brocade to intercept (i.e. be able to understand) CDP or not (i.e. forward them along). If you have CDP off, then they will be forwarded on and won't show up in a show fdp neighbor output.
If you are mixing vendors, I would recommend that you look at having them all run LLDP if possible.
