It's in fact possible using OSC. This part of klick's OSC interface is 
currently undocumented and still needs some work, but you could do 
something like this from a shell, or maybe a script (send_osc is part of 
pyliblo):

# start klick, listening on port 1234
klick -o 1234

send_osc 1234 /klick/metro/set_type map

# load and play first tempo map
send_osc 1234 /klick/map/load_file /path/to/foo.map
send_osc 1234 /klick/metro/start

# play another tempo map
send_osc 1234 /klick/map/load_file /path/to/bar.map
send_osc 1234 /klick/metro/start

send_osc 1234 /klick/quit
