In GRASS terminology polygons can be lines, boundaries, or areas (when
conbined with a centroid [= center point]). So assuming you have areas
and you want to export just the centroids, I believe something like:

v.type type=centroid,point in=mymap out=mymap_converted
v.out.ogr in=mymap_converted dsn=myshapefile.shp 

would meet your needs.
