Programmatically install Certificate Revocation List (CRL)
Here is my final source (slightly scrubbed for the public) - but should work. I won't change the accepted answer, but I do hope this helps (as does upvoting the question and answers!).
Note: This will import both a CRL or a regular certificate into the LOCAL MACHINE Trusted Root store. Changing the below CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_LOCAL_MACHINE
to CERT_SYSTEM_STORE_CURRENT_USER
in the call CertOpenStore will change it to work for the Current User store.

I don't know a way to do it via script. Can you write C code? If I understand what you want to do, you will use the CryptUiWizImport function, and the CRYPTUI_WIZ_IMPORT_SRC_INFO structure.
Here's a sample of code that installs a Cert; the corresponding CRL import is similar.
Addendum:
This post points out that Win32 APIs (such as CryptUiWizImport) are not directly accessible from PowerShell, and then describes a possible workaround: from within the PowerShell script, dynamically generate and compile C# code that does the P/Invoke stuff, and then run the resulting assembly. This would allow you to do the CryptUiWizImport strictly from a powershell script, although it would be a pretty exotic one.
Hm. Is there any reason not to use the certutil.exe utility? I can import a Certificate Revocation List into the appropriate store by running the following command:
certutil -addstore CA <FileName>.crl
