Probably the easiest way is to have them converted to pdf, them either include them as graphics files (if you want short snippets inserted as images) or as separate pages:

\usepackage{pdfpages}


….

\includepdf[pages=-]{filename}
….


If you want them as separate pages it is a simple matter of printing them to pdf.
Otherwise you may want to crop them to a convenient size. 

Either way, if there are lots of files, it may be worth it to create a little Automator workflow to help, er…, automate with the process.
