Thanks for your help. I did solve it with v.transform. Here is the
description how I exactly did it:

1) create a new xy location and Import the pixel image. Then 
create an image group and create a pointsfile based on this 
image. Save the points file from within i.points.
2) Import the vector map into the temp xy location. Make sure 
that your vectors start also at the same coordinates eg. x=0 and 
y=0. Check it by displaying the image first and then the vector.
3) Export with OGR into a shape file or one of the other types.
4) Import the vector map into the target long./lat. location, but 
for this vector map use the -o option in the OGR that ignores the
regions setting of your current region.
5) Use v.transform and the pointsfile from your x,y location to
rectify your image. Unfortunately this way only a 1st order 
tranformation is possible. But better than nothing.

6) Voila I have it. Maybe it is just enough to skip steps 2) and 
3) and directly load into the target location.

Kind Regards,
Andreas
