d.paint.labels should do the job; remember that d.paint.labels can only 
display labels previously defined with d.labels or p.labels. Check the 
label-file and your region settings, I suggest.

the easiest way is writing a script that takes the vector attributes and 
transforms them to labels. I never tried this for vector maps, but for 
site_lists it worked fine. For raster maps I don't see a quick solution, 
as there are no centroids defined as far as I know.

Only if you don't need them before next year!

Good luck,
