Challenge accepted:

Image/Guide/New guide, you can assign a short-cut to it, for instance 
Ctrl-Shift-G. This gives:

- [Ctrl-Shift-G]
- [Cursor up] (horizontal) or [Cursor down] (vertical)
- [Tab] (switches to position field)
- [3]+[8]+[2] (enter new position)
- [Enter]

Could be a bit more deterministic if H/V shortcuts were usable in the 
direction selector.
