Couldn't you do something like seconds = %seconds(CURRENTDATE - 1970DATE)

I guess %seconds is a bit less verbose than %subdur, but he's still
got to construct that 1970DATE, and correct for GMT.

I'm sorry, instead of %subdur, I was actually thinking of %diff. So
yeah, %seconds or %diff seem the most appropriate BIFs to use, if
you're going the BIF route.
