The ESRI native format (ESRI GRID) indeed stores the raster data data  
in a INFO folder and folder with the name of the raster (e.g.  
elevation). When importing you simply have to specify the name of the  
folder:

r.in.gdal input=/Users/admin/data/elevation output=elevation -o

(with -o flag to override the projection which might be necessary)
