Yes, you can do that but you have to swap byte orders to use *.pdf generated by HTS-demo on festival.
This is because hts_engine module in festival is based on the old version, HTS-1.1b.
To generate *.pdf files which can be used in festival, please modify the following part in Training.pl from

  # config file for model conversion
  open(CONF,">$cfg{'cnv'}") || die "Cannot open $!";
  print CONF "NATURALREADORDER = T\n";
  print CONF "NATURALWRITEORDER = F\n";  # hts_engine used BIG ENDIAN
  close(CONF);

to

  # config file for model conversion
  open(CONF,">$cfg{'cnv'}") || die "Cannot open $!";
  print CONF "NATURALREADORDER = T\n";
  print CONF "NATURALWRITEORDER = T\n";  # hts_engine used BIG ENDIAN
  close(CONF);

if you're using Intel i*86 environment (little endian).
