from within your lat lon GRASS location:

v.in.ogr location=

to import the shape file and create a new location for it based on its
.prj projection info. (assuming it has a .prj file. if not you'll have
to create the needed location manually and import using v.in.ogr from
within the new location)

Looks like you'll have to create a new location and set the projection
settings manually...


then (in the lat/lon location) suck it into the lat/lon projection with
v.proj.
