The EPSG codes are read from $(GISBASE)/etc/ogr_csv/pcs.csv and not 
/usr/local/share/proj/epsg, if that makes any difference.

Something to try to be sure is g.proj -p proj4=+init=epsg:2180 and it 
should print the correct co-ordinate system in GRASS format.

The conversion logic is mostly in OGR. The PROJ.4 string is never 
interpreted by PROJ in this case but by OGR.
