R.terraflow outputs catchments around sinks in the dem. R.watershed should be making huge delineations in comparison.

If you are talking about the basins output having NULL values around
these depression, this is because your basin threshold value was too
high, set it to a lower value. Check the current flow accumulation
output for a reasonable threshold.


so, my accumulation map contains values from -144714 to 58920 with a majority of cells between 0-100. what would be an appropriate threshold value?
You can try standard deviation of flow accumulation (r.univar -g).
I already tried 5000 and it looked similar to the output I received from r.terraflow,
The basins of r.watershed look similar to the basins of r.terraflow?
but when running r.watershed with depression input I still receive those null()-areas...

... in the basins output I assume. If you really want to treat lakes as real depressions, i.e. water is not supposed to leave these lakes, then there will always be NULL areas around the lakes unless you set the threshold to something much smaller than 100, but then the stream segments and basins become meaningless because there are too many...
by the way, this is what my region looks like:

GRASS 6.2.3
Rather use 6.4.0RC3 instead of 6.2.3, you should get a couple of nice surprises...
[...]
cells:      466400

Not that many cells, should take just a few seconds to get the basins (with 6.4.0RC3).
