I guess that's impossible as the BIL is a simple format.

Perhaps a "-t" flag should be added to r.in.bin like in r.in.tiff.
Or you write r.in.bil using the .tfw file and r.in.bin parameters.
To decipher you can extract the old r.in.arctiff script from beta9
if you don't want to modify r.in.bil directly.

Just a hint,

 Markus
