Aren't there multiple hpgl to gcode converters?  You should be able  
to output milling layers to hpgl files easily using the CAM  
processor, and I'd think those would be easier to deal with than  
gerber files.   Generating milling layers from dimension layers may  
be slightly harder, since the "outlines generation" in eagle only  
works on signals, but it should be well within the capabilities of a  
ULP...

My LPKF "Circuitcam" does this quite easily;  you give it a layer or  
a selection, and tell it to mill inside or outside with a particular  
tool.  I dunno whether you can find a cheap copy though.
