Hi Dylan,
v.to.rast has the option:
--%<--
labelcolumn=name
Name of column used as raster category labels
--%<--
And the raster values have to be numeric:
--%<--
column=name
Name of column for attr parameter (data type must be numeric)
--%<--
(http://grass.itc.it/grass64/manuals/html64_user/v.to.rast.html)
Try to make unique numbers from your string-column and convert them with
column=... and labelcolumn...
