Use the GDAL-GRASS plug-in. Then, you only need to re-compile the
plug-in whenever you update GRASS.

Alternatively:

Build and install GRASS 6.3. Build GDAL --with-grass, and install it. 
Use this for QGIS, GDAL utilities, etc.

Build GDAL again --without-grass and install it somewhere it won't
normally be found (i.e. not in /usr or /usr/local).

If you want to use an updated version of GRASS, build it against the
GRASS-less GDAL and run it in place.

Even without this specific issue, building GDAL --with-grass is
problematic as GRASS depends quite heavily upon GDAL, so having a
version of GDAL which depends upon GRASS creates a circular
dependency.
