Possibly. Depending on the size difference between the male and female, I have seen established females bully newly introduced males, sometimes to the point of the male transitioning back to female, sometimes to death.

You would be better off adding a smaller female swallowtail, using an acclimation box.

Agreed. IME this is the much easier way to go about it.
