You can use qemi-img to convert back to vmdk files. I've used tools like Aconis in the (long) past to stream images between vmware server and esx. Clonezilla will probably. HDclone has a vmdk mode. If you get the vmdk files on a PC with vmware workstation you can probably check they work, then export it to the vmware node.
Usually the biggest issue it removing any virtual drivers.
