I'm going to suggest that interested parties just write a new package for Sage, after reviewing existing packages, instead of trying to bolt one of the existing packages onto Sage. Unit conversion and dimensions analysis isn't very complicated, so it's probably easier to just write it anew. The existing packages have various features, so someone can just pick and choose the features they want. Shameless plug --- I wrote the ezunits package for Maxima, which makes extensive use of symbolic computations, and has a very convenient syntax for annotating units and for unit conversions, and some interesting random features; I like this one: 10000 ` m `` [mile, yard, foot, inch]; => [6 ` mile, 376 ` yard, 0 ` foot, 608/127 ` inch] Maybe ezunits can a source of some inspiration.
