just write a short shell-script for batch-import

untested:
---script begins---
#/bin/bash

for i in `ls *.shp`
do
  echo "importing shape $i..."
  v.in.ogr dsn=$i out=`echo $i|cut -d"." -f1`

done
---script end---

This will most probably not work if filenames do have spaces, but right
now I do not have a solution for that.

Probably someone can provide a more sophisticated method of
batch-importing.

Please have a look at the SuSE-Readme:

sqlite3 packages for several SuSE distributions <= 9.2 can be obtained
from
http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=Libraries/sqlite/.
For SuSE 9.3 sqlite-3.1.3-3 is included.

This should work then.
