Hey,

I would say the best solution is to use r.mapcalc. With it you are free to
do all kinds of reasoning with respect to both maps. 
It seems to me that you want a classified raster, for instance, with 1 for
low values in raster1 and raster2, 3 for high values in both rasters and 2
for everything else. So obviously, you first need at least two thresholds in
order to define what is low and high in each raster, regarding your specific
analysis. Then you would simply do:

r.mapcalc "output_raster=if(raster1<threshold1 &&
raster2<threshold2,1,if(raster1>threshold1 && raster2>threshold2,3,2))"

Look at r.mapcalc with g.manual and in the web, because there is plenty of
material and it is very powerful.

Hope it helps,
Marcello.
