...would it be possible to use the dlls...
The long answer is, yes. It is possible to wrap anything. Or put another way, I haven't seen anything that couldn't be wrapped, but as the DLL interfaces become more complex, the wrapping does as well. This is one of the more complex things to do in LV. As you develop the wrappers, bugs in your code are pretty unforgiving, and feedback can be pretty obscure. Even when it works, misunderstandings on who is supposed to allocate and destroy buffers, or lifetime of buffers can lead to leaks or instabilities.

That being said, if the dlls are pretty simple, if you are able to connect to external dlls, it shows that you understand many low-level computing concepts. If you attempt this, you should be able to get pretty decent help here.
