Set the following environmental variables:

GISRC (should be your_home_dir_path/.grassrc)
GISBASE (where the bin, etc, and scripts directories are found)
GIS_LOCK (usually set to the process id of the start-up shell script; I would
use the pid of the current shell)
GISDBASE (the Database of the the query page)
LOCATION (the Database + the Location + the mapset)
MAPSET (just the Mapset name)

Add the following paths to your PATH:
$GISBASE/bin
$GISBASE/scripts
$GISBASE/garden/bin


IF I haven't overlooked anything, you should then be able to run GRASS programs
normally.
