You can use cs2cs to translate lat/long coords into utm ones, to use for 
  a gdal_translate crop. Then use gdalwarp on the output to convert the 
  raster to a different projection. To get the two images cropped to 
exactly the same extents it might be better to gdalwarp the source image 
before cropping.

cheers,
