If you can manage to make a RFC 4880 secret key packet, you should be able to combine it with a user ID packet (either generate one yourself - no crypto needed - or just copy one from another key), and then import the result with --allow-non-selfsigned-uid. That should skip the need for a self-signature. Once you have it imported, you can self-sign it via GPG, using "--edit-key xxxxxx sign".
