Much to my delight, v.in.ogr reads the binary arc coverages. I copied over the directory (which is the coverage name) and the info directory to a place on the Linux machine which has GRASS installed. (not sure if the 'info' directory is needed, but it did preserve attributes).
For the OGR datasource name, I pointed it to the "arc.adf" file, and it imported the coverage as a GRASS vector with points, lines and polygon features. Attributes also preserved. Please let me know if you have any issues with this. First time I tried this, and great to know it can read the binary coverages.
