Yes, this can be confirmed. We are currently peer-reviewing a related paper
for Springer Lecture Notes on the OGRS 2009 conference in Nantes,

You can find the conference contribution here:
http://www.ogrs2009.org/doku.php?id=research
 "An alternative approach for object oriented classification of historical
  black & white aerial photographs using  GRASS GIS and R"

We are working here in my institution on a similar project and will likely
document the steps in the GRASS Wiki in the near future.
