I wrote a combination AppleScript/PHP Action that queries WolframAlpha and returns the result. I've now posted it on the Wiki <http://qsapp.com/wiki/Query_WolframAlpha_%28AppleScript%29>. Something similar could perhaps be written for Google Search with unit conversion specifically in mind—do a request and look for the characteristic box at the top. At a quick glance you'll want to use a mobile browser user-agent to get a relatively lightweight page, without all the crap the normal Google search pages have. Amusingly if you set your user-agent to "Lynx" Google serves a *really* lightweight page, but one which no longer contains the calculator result...
