Without Idrisi or some other program which can read and convert Idrisi
files into something else which Grass can use you might have to learn about
the format of ascii Idrisi .vec files and reformat them. The other option
is to get the documentation for .e00 files (Arc export files) which is not
easy to find and then write your own conversion program.
