Sure, that's doable. There are a couple of issues to keep in mind:

I would use a perl script to build the
databases, using bogolexer and bogoutil, and just add read-only cdb support
to bogofilter proper.

Rebuilding the databases from scratch may take a long time though,
depending on the message counts and file sizes so it may not be worth
it. Please try it and see if the speed is acceptable.
