Don't I remember that nviz used to be able to wrap lat-lon rasters onto a
spherical globe.
I think that Bill Brown even made a cover of Grassclippings with such a globe
mapping (perhaps I show my age here ).
Can it still do that? How?

AFAIK, the OpenGL NVIZ has never done that. Perhaps an Irix version?
While not exactly GRASS, the program Xplanet can do that with a suitable
image input (http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/).

Yes, it will have been the SG3d software which only runs on SGI.
The source code is included in 5.0.x:
src.contrib/GMSL/SG3d/
).
).
