I've tested it with WiFi, location services, etc off and isolated that the battery drain problem is the unlock itself. I'm getting five bars on T-Mobile, so I don't think the problem is that it's constantly searching for a signal.

The battery life problem on my unlocked 3GS seems to be resolved. The battery life is really good now and I don't have to leave it in airplane mode anymore. I didn't restore the phone, so I'm thinking a Cydia update fixed it.
