No you can't install Kindle dictionaries on a Kobo.
It is technically feasible to convert from Kindle format to Kobo format, because I did it for the 2 Kindle English dictionaries a few years ago. However, I didn't find any general utility to do it as a "magic button" conversion. I needed plenty of time to understand both the Kindle/Kobo formats and some bespoke programming to get there.
Since then, @geek1011 has developed
dictutil - utilities for creating Kobo format dictionaries more easily but I don't think anyone has ever added a utility to extract the Kindle format data (a special mobi format) into the required intermediate format which is then converted to Kobo format without needing to write bespoke programs.
The Kindle dictionaries were (are still?) DRM-protected, so step 1 is always to remove the DRM before you can start to extract the word/definition data.
