<font color=plum>I'm sure they could find another actor, but that wouldn't be a very wise move. X-Men fans are a lot like Trekkies and LOTR fans, they don't want Hollywood "screwing up" their favorite characters. Hugh Jackman (although relatively unknown before the original X-Men) has done a great job portraying comic fans favorite beserker.
My guess is that Wolverine will just be left out of X3 altogether. I was reading the latest news on the film the other day (just Google for X-Men movie and it will take you to a website with the latest info) and it looks like Nightcrawler will have more air-time in the 3rd movie. Also, as hinted at in the end of X2, X3 will focus primarily on the Pheonix saga, so it would be easy enough to leave Logan out of the storyline.
My guess is that they may shoot one or two scenes where Logan leaves the group to go search for his roots. That would be a good set-up for the "Wolverine" movie that has been rumored to be "in the works" (no confirmation on that though). It is also somewhat accurate with the comic storyline, although Wolvie didn't go on this journey of personal discovery until many, many years after the Pheonix saga in the comics.
Hugh Jackman had said he was getting a bit tired of the overwhelming pressure the role brought on him and he just wanted a break. If he doesn't sign up for X3, there is still a chance he could come back in X4 (if it gets that far).</font>
