A possible way might be to use
r.line
on that raster lines. As r.line (currently) doesn't have a smooth function,
it might be a good idea to use v,support, v.digit afterwards. In v.digit you
find in EDIT-> v - Smooth poly-line a way to "smooth" the line.

Maybe also v.prune would do the job.

Finally v.report tells you the line lenght.

Hope this helps,

 Markus

PS: It might be a good idea to have a new flag in r.line to create diagonal
    lines optionally instead of digitizing the cell borders.
