I use a lot of MODIS data (all levels essentially). Rather than using
the HEGTools, I have written a small python script that uses GDAL (and
Markus Neteler's notes on how to reproject MODIS data) to reproject
and select the area I want. The ouput is GeoTIFF, which can then be
easily imported into GRASS.

If you want to have a look at it, let me know, and I'll send it over.
