I don't think GDAL/OGR supports E00 directly. If you're dealing with vector
data you can use the AVCE00 library for that:

http://avce00.maptools.org/avce00/index.html

The "avcimport" command will allow you to convert an E00 to an ArcInfo
Coverage which can be read by OGR. It works reasonably well (although I've
had some rare cases when it failed to create a valid coverage).

I can't really speak to whether or not direct E00 support is planned for the
future.

Hope this helps,
