You can write quick&dirty(TM) PHP script to do it. Something like this:

//---------------
ibase_connect('database', 'user', 'pass');
$sql = 'insert into your_table (column list,...) values (';

$fp = fopen('csv_file', 'r');
while ($line = fread($fp, 10000)
{
$data = explode(',', $line);
$values = '';
foreach ($data as $d) // quote the text
$values[] = "'" . $d . "'";
ibase_query($sql . implode(',', $values) . ')');
}
fclose($fp);
ibase_commit();
//---------------

Well, you need to add some error checking and stuff, but it can do the
job really nice.
