If you have true polygons, ie areas, the site list can be fairly easily 
converted to a list of area labels. Have a look at existing files in the 
$LOCATION/dig_att directory for the proper format. If the polygons are 
not true areas, you would need to do some editing - I can supply further 
details if necessary. Once the dig and dig_att files are OK you can run 
v.support and v.to.rast on the map.
