I had the same question when I set my list(s) up, and I saw it often
enough in the archives (usually unanswered) that I'm surprised it's not
in the FAQ.

If your archive is in mbox format copy it to 
   archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox  (where <list> is your list name)
then run
    bin/arch <list> archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox

If it's not in mbox format then you need to figure out how to convert it
from whatever form it's in to mbox.
