Depends on version. Text always works:
Export to text CSV and then import CSV back into MySQL.

The DSN idea mentioned earlier won't work with early FoxPro which 
has no ODBC capability. However, it is certainly the right
solution if you're working with a recent FoxPro. Just pull the
data through ODBC.

If you no longer have access to the FoxPro program (just have the
data files) I believe Access will import FoxPro files directly. Just open
them up in Access and then export them from there.
