Up to the latest version (0.46, they still haven't kicked out 0.47 as of this writing), Inkscape has no native support for importing/exporting CDR files. You could do it (with a ton of hassle) by installing Uniconvertor, but the most recent versions of Inkscape have made even that process trial and error. I'm waiting for version 0.47 to be finalized before downloading it, but I hope they've made the process seamless. It was on their 0.47 roadmap for a while, but then it mysteriously disappeared from the listing.
EDIT: I see the site you linked to says the functionality has been added to the latest beta... that's great news. I can now tell customers where to get a freebie solution to create "industry standard" files.
