In a nutshell:

npm install --save-dev connect-modrewrite

Gruntfile:

connect: {
  options: {
    // ...
    // Modrewrite rule, connect.static(path) for each path in target's base
    middleware: function (connect, options) {
      var optBase = (typeof options.base === 'string') ? [options.base] : options.base;
      return [require('connect-modrewrite')(['!(\\..+)$ / [L]'])].concat(
        optBase.map(function(path){ return connect.static(path); }));
    }
  }
