Tamas, from the documentation this means the following :
if you do this
<exec executable="myprog">
     <env key="SOME_FILE_LOCATION" file="../../etc/somefile"/>
</exec>
ant will execute myprog with an environment variable called
SOME_FILE_LOCATION, whose value is going to be ../../etc/somefile
resolved according to ant rules, which means that the base directory of the
build file will be prepended to ../../etc/somefile.

So no, this is not a way to import environment variables from a file.

You can invoke a shell script from ant if you want to have your environments
variables in a file.
In this case just pay attention to the fact that for shell scripts, the
executable is your shell interpreter and the shell script an argument.
For instance for a Bourne Shell script, you should do :

<exec executable="/bin/sh">
      <arg value="myscript.sh"/>
</exec>
