You mean to interpolate the pixels between the contour lines
(so: from vector contours to raster map) or to insert additional
contour lines?

If you want to do the former (interpolation), take a look at
http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.surf.rst.html
The notes contain hints for contour lines.
