I want to install ACID on a machine that has been running Snort for a while
now. I'd like to be able to pull the data it has already collected into a
snort database so ACID can read it. How could this be done?

Unless you've got the packets (pcap or unified) you're out of luck.  You
need to have the packets in a binary format so that you can use Snort to
'post-process' the data.  You need to configure Snort to use Barnyard or
the DB outuput plugin in snort.conf.  Then you'd do something like:

        snort -c /etc/snort.conf -r <pcap file>

And you should be good to go!
