I see two options:
- export the DEMs, still in GRASS GIS format, with r.pack (in a loop)

Markus,

With changes to GRASS over the years I was no sure whether making a tarball
of the mapset would retain all information.

There might be future changes to GRASS which would make this difficult with the current version of GRASS (e.g. plans to change the raster format / storage organisation). However, you will always have access to older versions of GRASS GIS and so should at least always be able to open old mapsets in those and then update if necessary.

Otherwise, I think that well-compressed tiff files will remain readable for quite a long time.
