The file is called an MBOX file.

I suggest dragging into a folder. The MBOX file will create a subfolder. You can then select all and assign a category. Then drag or use "Move to" to add the messages.
Worried about duplicates? Use this script to remove duplicates. I couldn’t find it on http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/. Allen is this your script? I didn’t see it on your script page either.
-- Eliminate duplicate messages in a folder of Microsoft Entourage X
-- Messages must be sorted in date order, and all must be selected
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set moved to 0
set theFolder to displayed feature of the front window
if class of theFolder is not folder then
display dialog "No folder in front window."
return
end if
set theMsgs to current messages -- every message of theFolder
set PrevID to ""
repeat with aMsg in theMsgs
set curID to (time sent of aMsg as string) & ¬
address of sender of aMsg
if curID = PrevID then
move aMsg to deleted mail folder
set moved to moved + 1
end if
set PrevID to curID
end repeat
if moved = 0 then
beep
display dialog ¬
"No duplicates found. Was the folder sorted" & ¬
" by date and the messages selected?"
return
else
display dialog (moved as text) & " duplicates deleted."
end if
end tell
