You can always set it in your normal ~/.bash_profile etc.

Yes; just don't use an xterm, i.e. change:

	exec -- $env(GISBASE)/etc/grass-xterm-wrapper -e $env(GRASS_HTML_BROWSER) \
	file://$env(GISBASE)/docs/html/helptext.html >@stdout 2>@stderr &;
to:
	exec -- $env(GRASS_HTML_BROWSER) \
	file://$env(GISBASE)/docs/html/helptext.html >@stdout 2>@stderr &;

I don't see why an xterm should be necessary. If you want to use
lynx/links, you can set GRASS_HTML_BROWSER to a script which starts
lynx/links in an xterm, e.g.:

	#!/bin/sh
	exec xterm -e lynx "$@"
