You can't import Photoshop patterns:
http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-concepts-patterns.html
http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/Using-Photoshop-pat-files-in-GIMP-16525-1.html#131667

You can however turn any PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF image into a
Gimp pattern simply by saving it with the .pat extension in your
~/gimp-2.2/patterns folder.

You can "import" them by chopping out each of the patterns separately,
then saving each of them with the .pat extension as described above.

HTH,
