Put them into mediavps\data\effects, and look in the VPs how you should name them. The name of the effects each weapon uses is in weapons.tbl or any *-wep.tbm .
If you need more help with modding, the Wiki modding portal (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Portal:Modding) is a good place to start.

Belay that. 

Put them in <mymod>\data\effects and create a mod.ini pointing to the MediaVPs.  Select that as the mod in the launcher.

Well, it depends exactly which pack of beam textures.
If its something like custom beam effects with no table, it'll have to be tabled.
If its just like replacements for retail/mvps beams and is already tabled, then what FUBAR said would suffice...
