Are you thinking about R "data frames"?  An importer would be nice 
to have, but it would be a substantial amount of work.  Data 
frames can be quite convoluted, and they (may) include various 
things that are not at present supported by gretl, e.g. "factors".

If anyone who knows R well wants to have a go at this, that's 
fine, but I don't think it's something I'll be working on soon.
