If they use the same database format, and it can be read with libGeoIP,
then sure.

If they don't use the same database format, there's an open source tool
called "geoip-csv-to-dat" that you can use to roll a libGeoIP country
database from text input.  Maybe you could take the ip2location data and
create a usable database from it.

I'm not aware of any tools that can create the other libGeoIP database
types (city, region, ISP, etc) -- last time I looked, only country worked.
