[as this is a usage question and not a packaging one it might get
better responses if asked on the qgis and grass users' mailing
lists]


Don't know about qgis, but have a look at the Bulk Import tool
in the new GRASS 6.4 wxPython GUI File menu. Also there is
the v.external module if you only want to link to it virtually
instead of importing it properly. (not as useful but good for
quick & dirty rendering)

will it read the ESRI project layout? probably not. but it can
bulk import the base maps.  see also the GRASS v.in.e00 module.


good luck,
