It isn't practical to use code from a module in a library.
Even if it was, calculating slope/aspect is so trivial that it's
easier to just write it from scratch than to extract the code from
r.slope.aspect.
FWIW, the calculation which r.slope.aspect uses is essentially:
dx = ((c1 + 2*c4 + c7) - (c3 + 2*c6 + c9)) / (4 * ewres);
dy = ((c7 + 2*c8 + c9) - (c1 + 2*c2 + c3)) / (4 * nsres);
key = dx*dx + dy*dy;
slp_in_perc = 100*sqrt(key);
slp_in_deg = atan(sqrt(key)) * radians_to_degrees;
aspect = (atan2(dy,dx)/degrees_to_radians);
where the cells are labelled:
c1 c2 c3
c4 c5 c6
c7 c8 c9
