Well, there is already r.prominence: http://grass.osgeo.org/grass65/manuals/addons/r.prominence.html
See also this older mailing list post: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2009-November/053220.html The source code in the Add-ons repository seems outdated. I have attached a more recent version in which I have outsourced the normalization functions to a separate module (r.normalize), also attached. I doubt that r.prominence captures the entire concept of "prominence" as used in mountaineering, but maybe it's a starting point.
