Well, if you have powerlaunch installed... you can use powertool. If you're using Nokia's mce, well, I can't say, I'm not even certain that it's possible (though it seems very likely).

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest='com.nokia.mce' /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_locktouchscreen
Maybe that will work. I haven't tested it though.

using dbus watcher, here's the output I get when locking the device:
so I tried to send something like this:
dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest='org.freedesktop.Hal' --print-reply /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_kb_lock org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Condition string:'ButtonPressed' string:'cover'
but I got back
