I just checked the link you sent. These are only style (.sty, .bst) files not document classes (.cls). You don't really need a new layout file. Just put \usepackage{mla} in your preamble, and put mla under Style in the bibtex reference popup, which you get when you click on the [BibTeX Generated References] button you insterted with Insert -> Lists & TOC -> Bibtex Reference...
