Yes there is a way! Bring it into photoshop perform a blur on it and edit it a bit until it looks good. An example of one I did was http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/120389-Tank-Game-Scripting-Fire . It is the grayscale image in the post and is labeled.

So when your done with that in Photoshop save it as a .raw make sure you pick your operating system.

Then when you create a new terain in unity terrain - > create terrain

select the terrain in unity then go to the terrain tab again and press import heihtmap. Make sure you pick your operating system when you import or it will look very messed up.

It may be possible to create a 3D terrain mesh with your sketch as a bitmap in a 3D editing suite such as 3DS max or Maya. I dont think it is possible within unity however.
