If You have internal Code. You can use the I/O and RAM.
Are you using C or ASM? The Ports are free while you are not reading or writing to the RAM. In ASM "MOVX" in C XDATA or PDATA pointers AND your choice of memory model. What ever you are doing to the bus, it must be idle during a read on write to RAM. If not you get junk. Also the data will goto the IO pins during the write.

I2C Master to Master is more code then a Master to Slave configuration. SPI is simpler and faster. If you have HW support of either that may change the rules.

There is always serial O/I Ports if you are short of lines. And , parallel ones if you have room for the chips and decoders.
