With server versions up to 5.5 it is only possible to import partitions as independent tables, simply because there is no server support for importing partitions of existing partitioned tables.

Though with MySQL / Percona Server 5.6 it is possible via ALTER TABLE ... EXCHANGE PARTITION. I have created bug #1179388 to document this procedure it in the XtraBackup manual.
