If using routers.cgi as your frontend, you can add the option:

routers.cgi*Options[targetname]: fixunit

to prevent the milli- prefix and its siblings.  You can also add the
'integer' option to make sure you always get whole numbers instead of
decimals.  

Normal MRTG supports the integer option, but not the fixunit option.  I
don't know about the other frontends.

Value: 0.987
No options: 987 m
integer   : 1
fixunit   : 0.99 (keeps to 2 decimal places)
fixunit, integer : 1

Value: 1234.567
No options: 1.23 k
integer   : 1.23 k
fixunit   : 1234.56
fixunit, integer : 1235
