I've started thinking about how this GPS data can be represented in Wireshark or tshark. The GPS options are attached to standard Enhanced Packet Blocks, so they could be considered as meta-data for a frame. Would it make sense to show the lat/long coordinates from the Kismet GPS option as Expert Info (_ws.expert)? Or do you have a better suggestion of how to display this data?

How about adding them as regular protocol tree items under the "Frame" protocol?
