If you know of any program that can (semi-)automatically create those kinds of hatchings, I'd love to know. As for importing from the gimp, if it's just a bitmap it will still be just a bitmap when imported. You might have some luck with tracing such bitmaps though (so if you manage to get a nice bitmap with a hatching, you be able to import it and get a decent trace of it so that you alter it in Inkscape).
there are papers[1] on Non-photorealistic rendering, so why has nobody (nerds included) created a plugin/filter/program?

thanks, :( what about using other programs like gimp and importing them into inkscape?

Hatchings like those done by Durer are not easy. The best way I have found is to use the Calligraphy tool with the hatching option:

You can use the Tweek tool to thin out the lines or to make them irregular (do a little bit each time as the tool tends to be unstable... you can use the node tool to fix small problems).
