You can use bash (the well known shell under most Linux distros) one-liners or 
script(s). Something like:

# enter in the directory which holds the images
# assuming all are Geotiff and lie on the same spatial reference system
cd Directory

# use r.in.gdal within a "for" loop
for TIF in *.tif; do r.in.gdal in="${TIF}" out="${TIF}" ; done

# or to avoid the ".tif" in the name of the imported grass
for TIF in *.tif ; do r.in.gdal in="${TIF}" out="`echo ${TIF} | cut -d"." -
f1`" ; done

Under the GUI I have no idea (currently).

Good luck, Nikos
