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...
(Lyx 1.1.6fix4, lyx 1.2 might have a different menu/dialog setup but the 
principle is the same.)
