You *can* add the range '[,'] at the end of the mapping if you use
inputsave() and inputrestore(). The following example uses g@ with a
dummy function to set these two marks. If you use the GetMotion()
function from foo.vim
http://www.vim.org/script.php?script_id=72
(my file of example vim functions) then you do not have to hit <CR>
after entering your motion. It is not entirely smooth, and adding
"silent" does not help much, but please tinker.

fun! Dummy(mode)
endfun
fun! Gat()
call inputsave()
" silent let mtn = GetMotion("")
let mtn = input("motion: ")
call inputrestore()
set operatorfunc=Dummy
execute "normal g@" . mtn
endfun
map g: :call Gat()<CR>:'[,']
