In our project we are planning to use BaseX as XML DB.

excellent choice ;)

Would like to know if these can be zipped and ported into different machines and can be used to recreate the DB. Please do let me know how this can be done .

Yes, this can be done. And you already described how it can be achieved. Simply copy the data directory to the other machines (of course, you can zip or gzip them before the transfer to reduce the size). The data/ directory holds all internal database tables, so copying them should be sufficient.
