Carlos,

it depends on what you need to calculate.

GRASS 6: if you can split the calculations into chunks (map pieces or time
   series), then send each map to a node. See
   http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Parallel_GRASS_jobs

GRASS 7: not sure what to come in future, perhaps some kind of
   parallelization in the GRASS libraries? Wouldn't be bad.

I am using GRASS 6.4.svn successfully on clusters with PBS and
Grid engine job schedulers (see Wiki).
