Glynn suggested r.proj. If you find that not working, you could also 
geo-reference the import raster to your existing location.

1) Use r.in.gdal, but check the "create new location" box. This will 
create a new location based on the projection of the raster import.

2) Close Grass-GIS, and restart it in the new (import) location.

3) Georeference the raster to display it in the old location.

If you only want to display the imported raster - if it doesn't have 
anything to do with the other dataset - then when you've imported it and 
started Grass-GIS in the created location, it will be available as a 
raster layer.
