well, you can use the tool proj to project the data into a
projection where you can easily add discrete distances in kilometers
and afterwards reproject (I would implement such as a script-solution).

Depending on your actual data other options should exist as well
leading up to issueing a full GIS like GRASS.

You will have a broader range of options if you include GNU/Linux
into consideration.
