Was thinking a little. Maybe it would possible to add a uploader that uploads many pictures at a time, then tagging them afterwards. See this image of a quick template i made: http://www.suwayya.net/massul.jpg. By clicking on the thumbnails then adding the tags and stuff, then Update.
I am pretty sure I can't create file fields dynamically. You'd still have to click Browse... each time for each file you wanted to upload. Imagine if a site could just arbitrarily grab any file it wanted from your computer... That's why this method is ultimately unpractical, in my opinion. It's much better to write a script.
At the most basic level, you can write a script to mimic the upload page. Just HTTP POST to /post/create with the necessary fields. If you want to get more fancy, you can use the XML or JSON interfaces. More details here: http://miezaru.donmai.us/help/api

Kinda old but...There are flash uploaders that can grab multiple files at a time (see Flickr's new uploader).
Or there's always using .zip files to upload multiple images (see rubyzip).Tagging can be done after uploading.
Flash uploaders? No thanks.
The zip upload might be a good idea but could potentially multiply crap flood damage. Besides that, I kind of like the pace of uploads here. Gives the images uploaded more exposure and better chances at them being identified and tagged.
