v.in.ogr - Convert OGR vector layers to GRASS vector map:
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.in.ogr.html

[...]
If the user wishes to import the data with the full projection definition, it is possible to have v.in.ogr automatically create a new location based on the projection and extents of the file being read. This is accomplished by passing the name to be used for the new location via the location parameter. Upon completion of the command, a new location will have been created (with only a PERMANENT mapset), and the vector map will have been imported with the indicated output name into the PERMANENT mapset.
