I'm not sure I understand your question: do you have existing tables
that you'd like to plug in to a parser tool, or are you looking for
the (E)BNF source needed to generate tables?


There are some parser tools, e.g., Gold (http://goldparser.org), that
separate the tables and actions from the "engine" that executes them,
and that can demand load new table/action sets.


However, I'm not aware of any tool that can directly use pre-existing
"foreign" tables ... every tool I know of has to have generated the
tables itself.
