When you launch GRASS in GUI mode:

Try this first:

1) Click on "Define new location with...Georeferenced file" (bottom right)
2) Enter name of new location
3) Browse to and select your non-referenced file
4) Click on "Define location"
5) Choose your new location and create a mapset
6) Enter GRASS

As your file is not referenced, this will create an XY location with a 
region of the extension of your map.


If that does not work:

1) Click on "Define new location with... Projection values" (bottom right)
2) Fill out LOCATION and MAPSET names
3) Press ESC then ENTER
4) Press ENTER ("would you like to create location")
5) Press ENTER ("do you have all this information")
6) Press A ("x,y")
7) Press ENTER ("x,y coordinate system")
8) Enter description
9) Press ENTER ("ok?")
10) Press ESC then ENTER (in the region extension dialog - just leave 
everything at the default value 1)
11) Press ENTER ("Do you accept this region")
12) Press ENTER
13) Press ESC the ENTER
14) Choose the newly created location and mapset
15) Enter GRASS

Now import your map:

1) File->Import Vector Map->Multiple formats using OGR (=v.in.ogr)
2) Enter all necessary parameters to import your non-referenced data 
(also check the option "Extend location extents based on new dataset" if 
you created the location in the second way)
