    Local avatars or something similar may be what you are looking for.

    What parkstreet said. Add Local Avatars by Peter Sterling works in WPMU installations. Users with gravatar accounts have their gravatars automatically included in Users > Avatar settings. For users who haven't signed up for gravatar account for some reason or another - the image may be uploaded by user in media library and provide absolute URL of that image to Site Admin or blog Admin to be added to Users > Avatar list. I think it's a cool tool :-)

    Yep, we're using it too. The one modification we made was to hard code the location of the upload directory

    'upload_dir' => '/wp-content/blogs.dir/' . $blog_id . '/avatars',

    in the initial avatar_options array and then get rid of the option for users to change it.
