Yes, I think so:

 http://grass.itc.it/searchgrass.php
 Search: attributes
 Restrict to: GRASS Developers Mailing list
 -> Documents 1 - 10 of 835 matches. 

Where did you try (URL?). It should be redirected to grass.itc.it.

Search for 'db.execute' :-)

http://grass.itc.it/grass60/manuals/html60_user/db.execute.html
  Add new column to attribute table:
  echo "ALTER TABLE roads ADD COLUMN length double" | db.execute

Hope this helps
