How do I record BC (Before Christ) dates in Gramps Events?

Data entry seems to be case-sensitive.

Enter as BC or BCE or B.C.E.

Such “Before Common Era” dates will be shown as B.C.E.

Those dates are probably going to be on the Julian calendar. In the Date selection dialog, it will show negative dates. However, you cannot enter negative years during data entry.
