As far as I know, the Aegis radars are too big to be land mobile.
Well if it's integrated with the existing Ukrainian missile battery infrastructure and SM6s are used then maybe it's feasible.

SPY-1 is not land mobile for more reasons than weight, the architecture of the radar doesn't permit folding it up to fit on a trailer. A small SPY-6 family radar could be made road mobile, it would probably look a bit like Ghost Eye in the end.As far as I know, the Aegis radars are too big to be land mobile.
SPY-6 is built by Raytheon.small SPY-6 family radar could be made road mobile, it would probably look a bit like Ghost Eye in the end.
In a hypothetical situation where THAAD gets sent to Ukraine? Yes. But it's not very likely. AN/TPY-2 is very expensive and very specialized, the US DOD isn't going to give one up easily.What about using the THAAD's AN/SPY-2 radar?

Where AEGIS Ashore might be handy for Ukraine is if it's deployed on or near to the Black Sea coast and is equipped with SM6s, the SM6 in addition to its primary anti-aircraft role also has a secondary anti-ship role so it could be used against Russia's Black Sea fleet assets.
Dense Pack Juniorthey should have at least buried the cells in the ground.
Then you don't want AEGIS Ashore, you want the Army Typhon (aka Mid-Range Capability) with SM-6 and/or Tomahawk in Mk 70 trailer launchers.
That's a pretty specialized radar, it's only good for IRBMs. It needs a separate Patriot battery to protect it against air threats!What about using the THAAD's AN/SPY-2 radar?
