After rewatching it last night, I think Wilson was saying that he considers being supportive of a friend as being equally important as the obligations of medical ethics. So while he has an obligation to vote according to the rules of the transplant committee, he also has an obligation to trust his friend and back him up when he needs it. Clearly, the obligation of friendship is stronger for Wilson.
Which is interesting when you think about their conversation at the end of the pilot, where House chides him for lying to a friend in order to save a patient, saying his priorities are screwed up.
