In theory you can do it, I think, by emulating the backend for a frontend area. You can do the emulation like this:

$adminStoreId = 0;
$appEmulation = Mage::getSingleton('core/app_emulation');
$initialEnvironmentInfo = $appEmulation->startEnvironmentEmulation($adminStoreId); 
//your magic here
//then stop the emulation
$appEmulation->stopEnvironmentEmulation($initialEnvironmentInfo);

But this is not a good practice. If you have urls in the templates you mentioned then they will be generated using the admin helper and you end up with a strainge key parameter.
Not to mention that it may not fit with your design.
I suggest you just clone the templates to frontend and keep frontend separate from backend.
