Well, it turns out this would've been possible even without #4144, but now that it's in CVS, I wrote up a wiki article[1] on dynamic models, which should give you some clues on how to dynamically generate a model. For this case, it would suffice to use the generic approach listed there, created the field list dynamically, then creating the model with it. Be sure to use the same app_label as the current app, or you'll have problems with syncdb and admin.
