Evolution does not work that way. At all.
The short version: There needs to be a selective pressure that makes specific individuals more likely to survive/reproduce, not just 'because it's convenient'. Mutations are also evident in offspring, not extant individuals.

but seriously even with exopacks, food and all that... I don't think they are gonna exactly live in the na'vi village, whatever that is in the sequel. Pandora is dangerous for such a little adapted creature as humans, only other possibility is that na'vi would inhabit the hell's gate, which seems unlikely though. It seems wrong that they would live separatelly, Norm and Max in Hell's Gate and na'vi would just drop by for a visit or something lol.

The humans would live in Hell's Gate, especially since someone needs to keep it manned in terms of communication as well. They also wouldn't really be able to survive well even in a Hometree without any of the Na'vi adaptation. Distance isn't such a problem with ikran
