GDAL support MrSID:
http://gdal.org/frmt_mrsid.html

Note that MrSID is not a free algorithm. You need to obtain a license
to compile GDAL with MrSID support.

Then r.in.gdal should read such data.

Another alternative is to export the SID file to TIF + TFW and import with
r.in.gdal

It is not the solution you may want but it could work in the short term.
