UTM multiple zones

[DUNN JEREMY SIMON]

Good Afternoon, 

Is there a way to specify the Azimuthal Lambert Equal Area projection in 
g.region of Grass4.1. As this is the projection used by the USGS I would 
assume so.

I'm trying to get a raster file into grass but am running into problems with
setting the default region for this file. It covers the area of 

top left (50,-104.99)
top right (48.65,-81.25)
bottom right (34.05,-85.19)
bottom left (35.05,-103.91)


I've tried various ways of pullling this "map" in with lat lon coordinates 
specified etc. But all I'm getting is garbage. The file is in the 
Azimuthal Lambert Equal Area projection.

Many Thanks
