I've done this before and the solution is really easy. Remove the anchor bolt that (secures the cable) from the QR and get a pear shaped ferrule and put that in the hole were the bolt used to go. (this holds the outer cable in place like a proper front Nippon QR does - then the inner cabe is clamped by the new Porkchop QR) It was a while ago when i did mine so I can't remember if the ferrule need a little fettling with a file so it fits snugly in the QR assembly but it definitely does the job.
