The only theoretical repercussion is if a particular table in the hack is not using the MYISAM storage engine, regardless, the likely effect on performance is minimal. It is possible that the hack has defined an innodb table (quite why escapes me) or a memory table (which is an efficient way of storing data that does not need permanent storage, such as session details). In both cases MYIASM tables will also work.
From the mysql reference manual:
ENGINE was added in MySQL 4.0.18 (for 4.0) and 4.1.2 (for 4.1).
This means you are using a *really old and probably unsupported* version of mysql
