sure, just a bash for loop + g.mlist will do it:

for MAP in `g.mlist vect` ; do
   echo v.to.rast in="$MAP" out="`echo $MAP | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'`"
done

in that example the other v.to.rast options would have to be constant of
course.

To avoid mistakes I like to capitalize a map name if it is going to be
both a vector and raster map. Probably there is some simple sed command
to just do the first character. otherwise just use "out=$MAP".
