I just found that the option to call native functions can simply be passed as an argument to the d8 executable.
Ex:
./d8 --allow_natives_syntax d8> var f = %CompileString("var x = 2;",false); d8> f function var x = 2; d8> f() d8>x 2
For other options, simply type:
./d8 --help
As a side note, to read a file as a string from the d8 prompt, simply do:
var s = read("my_test_file.js");

V8 provides a nice developer shell to interactively execute and debug javascript code using their Engine.
The build instructions as well as the dependencies can be found here http://code.google.com/apis/v8/build.html.
To allow calling native C++ functions from javascript directly such as what is done in the standard libraries (see src/v8natives.js), simply set the "allow_natives_syntax" flag from src/flag-definitions.h to "true". This will allow calling functions like %CompileString directly.
To see how C++ functions can be exposed to javascript, look at void Shell::Initialize() from src/d8.cc.
When an error occurs, the d8 shell automatically enters debug mode. The listing of available commands can be found at "function DebugRequest" of src/d8.js.
