It probably is not very difficult. A long time ago NetBeans switched from their own build system to a pluggable build system with Ant as default implementation. That is why Maven integration in Netbeans is also seamless: 'no mvn netbeans:netbeans' command, since pom files are used for project build information.
Support for Gradle would probably mean taking a look at how the Ant and Maven layers work and create something similar for Gradle . It is something that has been on my to-do list since the first time I got gradle exposure (Hans Dockter is quite an enthousiastic speaker), but with a 1 year old son, a -2.5 month old daughter, and with the sell of my current house and buying a new one I unfortunately lack time to do any coding at home. I suspect adding support for Gradle in NetBeans is quite straightforward, since there is a way to execute Gradle's Groovie code directly from java code.
