method 1) create a UTM location for your part of the world; pull in data
from lat/lon location with v.proj; use v.transform to move the data;
go back into your lat/lon location and pull the shifted data back home
with v.proj.

method 2) add a -g flag to v.transform, perhaps using the
Vect_line_geodesic_length() function that Radim recently pointed out?
[or file a wish for such a feature in the bug tracker]
