Possibly r.flow could help here - in the manual:

################
There are three possible output maps which can be produced in any
combination simultaneously: a vector map *flout* of flowlines, a raster map
*lgout* of flowpath lengths, and a raster map *dsout* of flowline densities
(which are equal upslope contributed areas per unit width, when multiplied
by resolution).
################


If you need it more accurate, maybe use *r.drain for each cell and add* the
flowpaths accordingly.

Cheers,

Rainer
