perhaps it is fairly easy (for a C programmer) to modify
'd.vect.chart ctype=pie' in single column bubble plot mode to plot an
arrow/barb rather than a circle?

otherwise you could do sqrt(x^2+y^2) before loading into grass and then
at least get magnitude in the above bubble plot manner.

or some fancy d.graph or d.mapgraph scripting.
