The way I understood it, I can give you karma. I just won't be able to see anyones karma levels.
Alright, I wasn't able to check bungie.net yesterday, so here's my explanation. I do believe that both of us are basing our information solely on what was said by Achronos in this thread. Let me quote him a couple times:

It isn't supposed to allow you to judge someone else (hence why you don't get to see the user's rating).
I interpret this as saying you won't be able to give me karma, if you see it otherwise, enlighten me.

...after we get the math the way we want it though, which is going to be hard. This system is a ways off...

Nobody said a mostly automatic system is easy. But that's why we have a very specific implementation plan.
Both of those quotes pretty much tell us that it will be mainly automated (if it exists!). I'll take this a step further and guess that if karma can be 'distributed' by a person, it'll only be by the bungie.net team.

The good news is that we aren't in a rush to implement it, and are fully capable of simply not turning it on, or throwing it away if we're not satisified with it. So, don't worry about it.
Always remember this. Don't expect the karma system to come any time soon if it comes at all.
Oh, and...

I have an entire whiteboard filed with "special" things we can give people who earn it.
Yay!
