You already know about Xastir for APRS/mapping and E-gads for other
pieces of the puzzle.  Here's another open-source application to
check out, it might give you some more ideas about how GRASS might
fit in.  I've been meaning to check it out myself but haven't gotten
to it yet.  Something like the below note gets posted to SAR_APRS
periodically (this one was message #483 to that list):

  Free/Open Source CAD Software

  Folks, a new version of Tickets, our free/Open Source CAD software
  is now available. Its features include APRS interface, tracking,
  mapping, driving directions, etc., etc. ... . It's in beta, and in
  the hands of about two-dozen folks right now.

  Kick the tires at http://kolamiannapolis.org/tickets/ - There's a
  guest login available there.

  If interested, contact me via the email link there, and I'll get
  information back to you re a download.
