I'm attempting to import a large collection of shape files and want
them all added to a specific map layer. I found the "import a
directory of shape files" feature in the create a new data store admin
page, but I'm not seeing an easy way to dump everything into a map
layer.
also, do we have support for esri geo databases?

No supported way, but you could try using the geotools OGR data store
(there is no plugin packaging for it, you'll have to build from sources):

but I’m not seeing an easy way to dump everything into a map layer.

Anyways, no, we don’t have a way to support that.
One way could be to import them into postgis and set up a view that selects all from those tables.
Does it really have to be a single layer? Could you not use a layer group?

Yet another way could be to use the REST API:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/rest/api/datastores.html#workspaces-ws-datastores-ds-file-url-external-extension
You should issue one PUT request for each shape file you want to upload; the first one will create a shape datastore in GeoServer, the following requests will result in the data being appended to it.
I’ve not tested it, but it should work 
Hope this helps.

Yes, I want to import these....

As well as the 1km sharefiles. We're talking about 2*60*26
shapefiles=3120. It's basically a grid overlay that you would put on
top of a base layer. Each shape file is non-overlapping. Also at a
given zoom level, say OSM's zoom < 10, I'd want the 100km files to be
shown, and beyond that, the 1km shape files. I have ogr running, but
what would be the recommended format to convert the files to, in order
bulk import them. I'm just looking for the easiest solution to do
this.

There is an OGR VRT format (http://www.gdal.org/drv_vrt.html) which you have to hand create (last time I tried anyway) and then use ogr2ogr to convert it back to a single shapefile for import. I would probably save myself the effort and dump the whole lot into PostGIS using a simple loop and either ogr2ogr or shppsql, just remember to leave creating the indexes until the end.
