You can handle your request differently based on the format.
At least that's how we currently do it to serve extdirect, json and html 
requests in one controller. See
http://git.typo3.org/FLOW3/Packages/TYPO3.git?a=blob;f=Classes/Controller/ContentController.php;h=a6f76b4fe827091349d2a78b7a4f5e826e86ab5f;hb=HEAD 
[line 97ff]

$this->request->getFormat() should by default return 'txt' for CLI- and 
'html' for web requests.

If you really have the same logic no matter what kind of request, you 
can skip the above and only create a custom view for the CLI requests 
(see ActionController::resolveView()).
You could e.g. write a generic TxtView that nicely outputs the assigned 
view variables (compare JsonView) - if it works feel free to share it 
with us ;)

AFAIK that's not (yet) supported. Probably the CLI\RequestBuilder would 
be the place to implement this..
