Since MathType and Mathematica both speak MathML, why not try that? In MathType, select a MathML translator from the Translators menu (Preferences | Translators). Copy the equation or equation fragment, then paste it into Mathematica. I'm not sure if the translator included with MathType 4.0b will do the job. It's worth a try though, and the one you need is labeled "MathML 2.0 (no namespace)". The MathML translators were updated with MathType 5, so if the above doesn't work with 4.0b, you might try downloading our evaluation version of 5 from the link in my signature.
