Yadi,

It turns out "grd file" isn't a very specific definition of a file format,
and that .grd is used by quite a few raster formats / packages.

But, guessing that you mean ESRI ASCII grids, they are supported by the
OSGeo raster provider.  However, ascii formats are quite slow, so for
web mapping purposes you should use something like

"gdal_translate your.grd your.tif"

to convert this into a better performing format like tiff.  You can get
gdal_translate as part of the FWTools suite at:

   http://fwtools.maptools.org/

Or use any other tool to translate it.

Best regards,
