No.

A GRASS installation only includes libgis and libdatetime (required by
libgis), and the headers for those.

Many modules would need additional libraries, and their associated
header files. E.g. all d.* programs need libraster, many need
libdisplay; all v.* programs would need the vector libraries. You
would also need much of src/CMD/generic for "gmake5" to work.
