m.proj + r.what?

The Python SWIG interface could do it well using GRASS library
functions.

"row and column corresponding to that cell" is a bit undefined in GRASS
as the working region is not tied to the underlying raster data. Do you
want row,cell referenced to the original raster map bounds?

coord of south west corner of map and resoution from r.info gives you
all you need to calc cell coords forwards & back.
