If you can sort the columns so the tracks are all together then you can use the shift and arrows to group a set of tracks together. Once you have all the rows selected you can just do a VO-shift-M for the contextual menu, then choose the Add To Playlist submenu and then right arrow to pick which playlist you want to add them to. The only tricky part was that when shift arrowing it only told me how many rows were selected so I had to figure out ahead of time how many made up the whole set.
