"milli lightsecond" should do it.

"milli lightsecond" doesn't work on OSX unfortunately (under 10.6 at least). One value which does work is "3 c-millisecond".

(I learned this by reading the /usr/share/misc/units.lib file and finding the lightyear definition: "c-yr")

Ah, whoops, I assumed it was GNU Units. Thanks and c-millisecond is cute.
