r.in.gdal or, with more work on your part, r.in.bin can import those.
The trick is, do you have an ESRI style .hdr to go along with it with
parameters like:

nbands 1
nbits 8
nrows 8430
ncols 8980 
byteorder I
layout BIP
skipbytes 0
ulxmap    534500.000
ulymap   4572000.000
xdim 25.00 
ydim 25.00 
bandrowbytes 8980 
totalrowbytes 8980 

For BSQ, it'll be slightly different (primarily nbands may be > 1,
and skipbytes might be > 0).  These are basically raw
binary files one band after the other, though sometimes they'll
have all the metadata as text at the beginning of the file 
(hence the "skipbytes" parameter).
