You _can_ do this in gretl, just not straight out of the box. What you
want to use is the mle command. I'm attaching a script that shows you how
to estimate a garch(1,1) model with a regressor in variance. It shouldn't
be difficult to adapt it to your needs.
You may want to read:
1) The gretl user guide, especially chapter 17
2) Lee Adkins' book (
http://www.learneconometrics.com/gretl/ebook.pdf),
especially the chapter on garch models.
