If you create a new database then you can simply drop those in. It *should* work as long as the versions are the same. I've done this many times, but simply merging a different table format (inno.*) to one that's different won't work. If it's an old database table 4.x then you have to install a ver 4.x mysql on a test machine, and create a database, drop the files in then export to .sql without create table.
If the tables are different (as in fields) then you have to edit the .sql manually - assuming it won't load.
I've done this to nalgora and destiny databases with sucess for testing the contents with my tools.
