here are the units and abbreviations that can be used:
- m or meters: can be used to indicate meters
- km or kilometers:  kilometers
- NM: nauticalmiles
- mi or miles : miles
- in or inches : inches
- ft or feet : feet
- deg or dd: degree
- px: pixels

ticket was added to add this in the docs 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3488)
