In a Windows networked environment, is there a command-line utility
similar to CD (Change Directory) that supports UNC paths?

When you say "DOS" I assume you mean the Command Prompt.
DOS is an operating system.
You can do this:
pushd \\SomePC\c$\windows
{Your commands go here}
popd
in order make "Windows" the working directory. However, while
the syntax uses a UNC path, the result will be a temporarily mapped
drive letter.
