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.)
