Ok, so I remembered some things correctly (see below), but indeed had
forgotten the most important part: It's already there! Just push the
"lags" button in the VAR specification dialog and enter your individual
lag structure (comma-separated I think).
See 
http://lists.wfu.edu/pipermail/gretl-devel/2009-February/001682.html
for the original discussion, already four years ago... time passes
quickly...
It remains to be said that the CLI version is still undocumented at
least in the online help.

 Here is my take.  Simple VARs are estimated by least squares applied
to
 several equations at once.  Since each equation contains the same
 variables, there is no gain from system estimation.  So, just estimate
 them one by one.  Use least squares e.g., 
 
 For lags 2, 3 and 6 with an intercept:
 
 ols Y const Y(-2, -3, -6)

         I think Aymen means to have the same lags in each equation, but
         with a
         "gappy" structure, for example include the first and third lags,
         but not
         the second (everywhere). Then the VAR-OLS-estimation would still
         apply.
 
         Vaguely I think there was a discussion about this some time
         back, but I
         don't remember the result. Of course it's still possible to specifiy
         this manually as a system and do OLS, but it's not very convenient.
