the following works for me:

[GRASS 5.3]
ps.map input=- output=test.ps <<EOF
scale 1:850000
maploc 1.0 0.75
vector coastline
  acolor 233 233 233
  width 0.25
  masked n
  end
vector property_lines
  color black
  width 1.5
  masked n
  end
end
EOF


[GRASS 5.7]
ps.map -r input=- output=test.ps <<EOF
scale 1:35000
paper a4
  top 0.9
  end
maploc 0.79 0.9
vpoints StudySites
  symbol basic/cross
  size 4
#  fcolor none
  end
vareas coastline
  fcolor 233 233 233
  width 0.25
  masked n
  end
vareas StudySites_100mBuf
  fcolor 220 140 120
  width 1.5
  masked n
  end
end
EOF

Not without modifying the source code yourself.
The "cross" option might be useful to you.
