You can use from any location

g.proj georef=demo20071121142735_CH1_35P.seg location=segy_sqlite

This will create a new location with the projection information of the
given dataset, but will not import the dataset. Then you would need to
switch to a mapset in the new location, set default db backend to
sqlite with db.connect and import the dataset with v.in.ogr. Or
easier, use GRASS 7.
