You can't

...Not directly at least. You'll have to use Zmodeler to import the 4ds model, and then export it to .3ds which C4D can import.
These two filetypes seem very similar by name but are completely unrelated to each other. So in case you're wondering you can't simply rename "object.4ds" to "object.3ds". Life would be too cool if that was possible.

This process sounds like a pain, and it is if you compare it to modern day game engine model implementation that doesn't use uncommon file types. But very doable still.
