Indeed.  Something like :var a="300 m" does work.

Thinking out loud, what would be better, but I have no idea how feasible
it would be, would be to have ob-calc make use of the embedded calc
functionality and syntax, so that you could write something like this:

#+begin_src calc
a := 300 m
b := 2 a =>
#+end_src

which would output the result of any line with => on it.
