Hi Bob, Just starting to use GRASS myself, so this certainly isn't an expert opinion. You can reproject the data using ogr2ogr without having to bring it into GRASS at all.
The best resource I have found so far for GRASS is the book by Neteler and Mitasova, "Open Source GIS, a GRASS GIS Approach". It's not cheap, but it seems to cover all the issues you are going to encounter, including this one. It recommends that to import the data, you should create a new location with the GUI and use the data set to define the extents, then import the data using the v.in.ogr tool. Apologies if that's old news to you, it's still relatively new to me.
