If you look in the beta-mode.el file in beta/current/emacs/current/
you'll see the instructions for installing it:

;; By putting the following lines of Emacs-Lisp code into your .emacs
;; file, you can make Emacs automagically recognize your BETA source code
;; file if they have the suffix .bet (textual BETA files).
 
;; (setq betalib (getenv "BETALIB"))
;; (if (not betalib) (setq betalib "/usr/local/lib/beta"))
;; 
;; (setq load-path (append load-path 
;;                      (list (format "%s/emacs/current" betalib))))
;;
;; (autoload 'beta-mode "beta-mode")
;; (setq auto-mode-alist (append (list (cons "\\.bet$" 'beta-mode))
;;                               auto-mode-alist))
 
;; When in beta-mode, you can get to know more about beta-mode by using
;; M-x describe-mode.
