If you're comfortable with scripting languages, a quick google found:
 http://plist.rubyforge.org/
 http://search.cpan.org/~bdfoy/Mac-PropertyList-1.33/lib/PropertyList.pm
(ruby and perl respectively)

or otherwise, they're just XML, right?  Anything that parses XML should
be able to do it, Apple publish the DTD.

But less "I bet I could write my own tool to do this" type people might
have better solutions.  :-)
