Hi Mike,
You cannot through the import tool available in the interface, but you should definitely check out the wiki on using the XML-HTTP API.
Below is a sample that would insert a new contact and custom field data for that contact. (Assuming the custom data has been set up through the Admin tool for a contact in a folder already.)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<app>
<authentication>
<id>127.0.0.1</id>
password
<systemId>4</systemId>
<clientId>1</clientId>
</authentication>
<transaction id='2'>
<contact action="insert" shareKey="true">
<nameFirst>John</nameFirst>
<nameLast>Doe</nameLast>
<isLead>true</isLead>
<company>Concursive</company>
<title>Software Engineer</title>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<accessType>2</accessType>
<owner>0</owner>
<enteredBy>0</enteredBy>
<modifiedBy>0</modifiedBy>

</contact>
<customFieldRecord action='insert' shareKey="true">
<linkModuleId>2</linkModuleId>
<linkItemId>$C</linkItemId>
<categoryId>13</categoryId>
<enteredBy>0</enteredBy>
<modifiedBy>0</modifiedBy>
</customFieldRecord>
<customFieldData action='insert'>
<recordId>$C</recordId>
<fieldId>16</fieldId>
<enteredValue>Yes</enteredValue>
</customFieldData>
<customFieldRecord action='insert' shareKey="true">
<linkModuleId>2</linkModuleId>
<linkItemId>$C</linkItemId>
<categoryId>6</categoryId>
<enteredBy>0</enteredBy>
<modifiedBy>0</modifiedBy>
</customFieldRecord>
<customFieldData action='insert'>
<recordId>$C</recordId>
<fieldId>6</fieldId>
<enteredValue>Yes</enteredValue>
</customFieldData>
</transaction>
</app>
