If you only have the images of the virtual machine but not the ESX server
itself, it is possible use a dirty scenario:

- first convert the virtual machine to a local libvirt / virtmanager based
KVM environment. [1] includes a brief how-to..
- then use virt-v2v to import this new guest to an ovirt import domain.
 The most complete documentation on v2v I could find is here [2]
