Michael,

I think that this has been talked about a little before so you may have to
do some research.  I think the trick is to use the CELL driver first, see
Malcolm D. Williamson's message from ~Jan 14, 1994.  You can then use
the src.contrib/SCS/...  program r.out.tiff to create the tiff file.
We have been able to do this and then take the tiff into a slide maker
program on our Mac's.  If you need more info I can try to dig up some
notes from the people who actually did the work here.  

Hope this helps,
