Use the r.stats command with the -a flag set.  The cells within each basin
defined by r.watershed are assigned the same category value.  The command
prints a list of raster categories and the area (in square meters)
represented with that category.  In the case of r.watershed basins, those
areas are the watershed areas.

r.stats will also calculate a number of other values if you ask it to.
