ask for ''green board''. This is drywall but it is moisture resistant.

a) quick & dirty - slap in a new sheet of drywal over the old one. paintit  
or whatever -- use anchor screws to hang new curtain rod  
 
b) slower & better -- knock out crumbly drywall around hole untill you  
find the studs behind. Use a utility knife to cut away drywall so you have  
enough stud exposed to nail new peice to . cut to fit new peice, tape &  
putty in sand it down & paint it .. yeah it will hold new rod, probably  
use anchor bolts unless screwing fasteners into studding (framework)
