Hmm, right, I didn't think of that myself, even though I was aware of the palettes being Gimp palettes. However, it's not quite nice to do, usability wise :(
Or...
Since GIMP palettes are just sets of rgb triplets in a text file with an optional name, you can just edit them in your favorite text editor.
Or even your favourite Spreadsheet. The Swatches or Gimp Palettes (.gpl) are simply Plaint Text files containing Tab Separated Values (.tsv)
The ability to create sequences in spreadsheets could be particularly useful when creating runs of similar colours.
Create one in your ~/.inkscape/palettes directory, or in one of the common shared places, and Inkscape should pick it up.
