The plan is to provide the consensus functionality as a library, the essential parts that make bitcoin bitcoin. 0.10 will have a basic transaction/script verifier available. In the version after that, I expect this will be extended to further utxo set management, but no API has been worked out for that yet. There are also plans to add a library for transaction signing. However there is no goal to expose *everything* as a library. Certainly not wallet- or user interface related functionality. Specialized utility libraries would fill this purpose better. See for example https://github.com/bitcoin/libbase58 for base58 processing.
