If you want to reproject the MODIS datasets in advance then these steps might help: First use gdal_translate to create a VRT (should automatically contain the GCP's). Then gdalwarp to the projection that you want, using the "thin plate spline" option. And finally import into a GRASS Location defined by that same projection. i.e.
gdal_translate -of VRT HDF4_EOS:EOS_SWATH:"MOD02QKM.A2019044.1415.061.2019045012150.hdf":MODIS_SWATH_Type_L1B:EV_250_RefSB eos.vrt
gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 -tps eos.vrt eos.tif
# Switch to a WGS84 Location, and import
g.mapset location=WGS84 map=PERMANENT
r.in.gdal input=eos.tif output=eos
