It really depends on what you mean by "axles rusted in place". Does this mean the the wheels won't turn? If so, this is almost always due to the brake shoes either getting stuck or rusting to the drums. It's not the end of the world, but it does take a little force to get them unstuck. If the wheel bearings are frozen, that's a different problem but again not insurmountable. We'll need more info to properly help.
