Sorry for the later reply, but here's some information on this topic.

Yes, that can be done. The current 0.6.x code base has cleaned up number
of internal interfaces to make it easier to use separate modules in
other programs.

I added a simple example program that shows how to build the RADIUS
client functionality into a library and how to interact with the library
to send and receive RADIUS messages. This is now available from my Git
tree at http://w1.fi/ (in the radius_example top-level directory).
