There is ClassDescription>>linesOfCode

The comment says:

"An approximate measure of lines of code.
  Includes comments, but excludes blank lines."


In my latest 3.7a:

  Smalltalk allClasses inject: 0 into: [:sum :each | sum + each

--> 260018

Of course, LOC makes not that much sense as a metric.
