No.

The versions of mxODBC in egenix-mx-commercial and the
ones that come with the Zope DA are different.

The Zope DA has the 2.1.x versions of egenix-mx-commercial and
egenix-mx-base, which are not yet available as stand-alone
versions. It won't work with the current egenix-mx-commercial
stand-alone version (which is 2.0.x).

So, to answer your subject line: you shouldn't mix the two.
The mxODBC Zope DA comes with everything you need and in fact
with more recent versions of the software than available
otherwise.
