Hi
Seconds behind master may not give the exact value because it shows the time difference between the time stamp of the servers where an sql stmt executed in master and the same stmt in slave. We have to make sure both the server times are in sync.
Thanks

My first approach was to use the mysqlbinlog to get the log position, in the 'Master_Log_File'. But in the slave's the last position that the SQL thread has read and executed is the 'Relay_Log_Pos', right?

May be the field "Seconds_Behind_Master" could help you ? (when you
run "SHOW SLAVE STATUS" on your slave)
according to the mysql doc (
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication-faq.html#qandaitem-16-3-4-1-3
) :
"When the slave SQL thread executes an event read from the master, it
modifies its own time to the event timestamp. (This is why TIMESTAMP
is well replicated.) In the Time column in the output of SHOW
PROCESSLIST, the number of seconds displayed for the slave SQL thread
is the number of seconds between the timestamp of the last replicated
event and the real time of the slave machine. You can use this to
determine the date of the last replicated event. Note that if your
slave has been disconnected from the master for one hour, and then
reconnects, you may immediately see Time values like 3600 for the
slave SQL thread in SHOW PROCESSLIST. This is because the slave is
executing statements that are one hour old. "
