Hey,

You can assess the internal variables which r.mapcalc work with by some
specific commands. x() and y() retrieve the coordinate information. 

So, after definining your region of calculation with g.region, you can then
do:

r.mapcalc "long=x()"   
r.mapcalc "lat=y()"

In this way, you will have two rasters, each of which contains one dimension
of your coordinates. Then you can do calculations with them as you like.

Is it what you wanted? Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Marcello.
