The linux version of Picasa might work.  It refers to tags as
"keywords".  Be advised that Google uses a built-in version of WINE,
and also required decent 3D acceleration to work smoothly.  Most of
the features work, but not all - the last time I checked I think that
uploading to an album and tagging were working.

I've never installed it this way, but they do have an apt repository:
