no my friend, it is available:   d.out.file

            options: png,ppm,tif,geotiff,jpg,bmp,ps,eps,svg,pdf


And of course v.out.svg.

See d.mon for details on the Cairo and PS (PostScript) drivers
which are another way to go.

and of course ps.map or ps.output PostScipt [-> PDF] -> Inkscape is
great if you need print quality output.

there is a save-as pull down menu in the map display. I can't remember
what's on it except that GeoTiff is on the planned feature list.

GRASS 7 doesn't have xmons, but the PS and Cairo drivers there are
much better than in GRASS 6. (mostly the xmons hold them back in grass 6)


good luck,
