Look at r.out.gmap in the addons:
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_AddOns#r.out.gmap

Or you can do it by hand a bit like this:

# Export map to Google Earth tiles.

map=$1

# Export map as png and make null data transparent
g.region rast=$map
export `g.region zoom=$map -lg` # Get map bounds in Lat Long
r.out.png $map
mogrify -transparent white $map.png

# Georeference and reproject output
gdal_translate -a_srs EPSG:4326 -a_ullr $nw_long $nw_lat $se_long 
$se_lat $map.png $map.tif
gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 -rc $map.tif $map\4326.tif

# Tile for Google Earth
gdal2tiles.py -title $map -forcekml $map\4326.tif $map
