No, that limitation is still in GRASS 5.0 r.in.tiff code.  However, I
don't know, but maybe r.in.gdal will handle this.  I know it has support
for many more esoteric features (complex numbers for instance).  I'd
assume the color rule would have to be grayscale/per band since GRASS's
color rules won't allow 16bit/band values.
