You probably have to set the computational region first. This determines
the grid in which any new raster is written, both its extent and its
resolution (see [1] for a bit more information).
Depending on the size of the area covered and the resolution desired,
you can use something like this:
g.region vect=YourPolygon res=YourDesiredResolution [-a if you want to
make sure to get precisely this resolution, and have the extents widened
to fit to this resolution - see g.region manual page for details]
Then try v.to.rast.
