You need to create a location whose projection matches the data you
wish to import.

Try using g.proj with the -c flag and the location= and georef=
options to create a new location based upon the projection information
in the file.

You should then be able to import the file into that location with
r.in.gdal. If desired, you can then re-project it to another location
with r.proj.
