Anne,

There is a v.in.atlas module available on the moon.  v.in.ascii and
v.in.dxf are methods I tried unsuccessfully.  I can get you more
information this week as to the module location.  It imports bna files
from Atlas into GRASS vector files.  From that point, you can go to raster
or site files.  You'll probably have to spend some time cleaning up the
data if you're importing polygons. 

If you need more information, feel free to email or call me.
