Manual pages are stored separately from the source code in the GRASS
source code repository and they are always installed even if the module is
not compiled...

It would seem to be disabled because it has too many bugs:
http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/grass/src/mapdev/v.trim/BUGS

You would need to get the GRASS source code and compile it yourself if you
wanted it.

Maybe use v.support with the option to remove dangles (set an appropriate
threshold)? I'm not sure if that is roughly the same thing or not.
