It would be nice if the ps.map instructions would recognize the metric spelling of kilometre / metre alongside of the imperial spelling when placing unit labels alongside of the scalebar decorations.

The place that is set is:
you can edit that file by hand and recompile if you need to.
I do not like the idea of making it current-locale setting dependent, or a translated macro as many of us work in/with/for both systems and need to be able to produce for both, from both on demand. Those things being silently adjusted for me drives me batty.
It could take a cue from the spelling of UNITS in "g.proj -p", but that's rather fragile and not an option for lat/lon locations.
I am loathe to add another instruction just for this spelling.

fwiw current-locale dependent spelling was in the mean time applied to trunk with r46188.
Further strategy discussion within this report would be appreciated. (+ search ML archive for more talk about it)

For this I would suggest a new "-t" flag, to either _("") translate or not.
It is not ideal, but at least you can adjust the enviro variable if you need to. The question becomes to translate the string to the current locale or not for the default?
