Two suggestions:

Write some small dBASE program or use some utility to get the data out of dBASE into a tab-delimited file. You could then use Oracle's SQL*Loader to blast this into an Oracle database.
Use some intermediate product (like Oracle Developer, MS Access, PowerBuilder) which would let you establish a middle connection between your dBASE "database" and your Oracle database. Then, via some INSERT INTO...SELECT FROM statements, you could easily move your data.
