Maybe r.mapcalc with a combination of the row() and col() functions ? 
Depending on the number of cells you have you can do something like 
this: row()*10000+col(). This will give you an ordered sequence, but 
numbers from one line to the next will have a gap. If you need perfectly 
sequenced numbers, I imagine it's possibly to find a formula that gives 
you that...
