Is it possible to import a AutoCad Line type into Revit?

Yes, you can import linetypes from AutoCAD, there is a limitation though, Revit will not accept linetypes with embedded objects or text in them. If you have a linetype that has some text in it to reference utilities or a linetype for chainlink fence that has and "X" in it, Revit will not bring those in.

Anytime you import an ACAD file you bring it's linetypes into Revit. (With the aforementioned limitations.) That's one reason to limit the number of linked/imported .dwgs... all those linetypes (or line styles in Revit-ese.)
