Is PROJ.4 installed correctly? There is no reason for it to depend on GDAL 
- my RHEL5 says:

$ ldd `which proj`
         libproj.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libproj.so.0 (0x00002adcf57b0000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x000000308bc00000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x000000308b800000)
         /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000308b400000)

and

$ proj
Rel. 4.7.1, 23 September 2009
usage: proj [ -beEfiIlormsStTvVwW [args] ] [ +opts[=arg] ] [ files ]

with no dependency on GDAL. Do you maybe have a stale GRASS GDAL plugin 
hanging around?
