r.in.tiff, r.in.gif, r.in.sunrast
NOTE: tiffs come in several flavors and apparently GRASS only recognizes
one. I've used both the sunrast and gif successfully.

You'll need to know your image extents. Set up your location to match
those extents and your image resolution *exactly*. Then import the
images and run r.support to specify the extents of your images.
