The latter is the case. Some needed steps in short:

* import your .img with r.in.gdal in=my.img loc=newlocation
* create a new location with your target-projection definition
* enter your newly created target location
* use r.proj to transform from your UTM-loc into your newly created
tmerc-location.

Hope that helps 

Best regards
