Rich,
I would look at the excellent MDB-tools package
(http://mdbtools.sourceforge.net). mdb-export will pull a specific layer
out of the mdb file. Unless it's a point coverage it's not going to
contain spatial data though, and even for point coverages it's rare to
the the point coordinates in the table.
The access2csv java.jar program also claims to do .mdb, but I have
only used it for .accdb files because mdb-export works so well.
As I recall, you're a linux guy, so you should have little trouble
with this.
For the spatial data you'll have to find a shape file or coverage.

Randy,
Therefore, useless to me.
You'll need to get your data out of the personal geodatabase files (the
.mdb files). It's been a while since I've tackled that - I wrote a
tutorial for doing this in QGIS. People have had hit or miss luck with
the
tutorial -
http://www.northrivergeographic.com/qgis-accessing-personal-geodatabase.
It works for me (win 10 64 bit with QGIS).
I think I still have an .mdb converter here somewhere. I'll go look for
it. I work with only linux and F/OSS tools. And I can still access data
from
20+ years ago. :-)
I know that probably isn't helping much - but - it might get you started.
I don't think there's a straight forward way to push that into GRASS -
there will need to be a few steps before hand.
Okay. If I decide to pursue this I'll do more digging.
Thanks,
Rich
