GRASS will only look to mapsets within your current location and GDBASE.
But - if you really want to look at maps stored elsewhere you can use
symbolic links and nfs mounting to create mapsets in your location that 
are stored elsewhere.  Just be careful that the coordinate, zone and 
other infomraiton are consistent.  If you are using a UTM zone location, 
and have a mapset that is linked to data stored in latlon you will have a 
mess.
