If you just want to pull the documents only from the dead site then check out this blog posting on how to pull them directly from the db. Doing this you could avoid having to muck around adding the db as a content db in SharePoint.

They have the database files for the site, but the configuration database is gone and is not coming back. Does anyone know if there is a tool available to extract the documents from the DB?
