If you are trying to do this as part of a bigger program, you might want to check out the gpgme and libgcrypt libraries. Otherwise, the gnupg manual page mentions an experimental method for using --gen-key non-interactively, which is described in the DETAILS file in the doc/ subdirectory of the gnupg source archive. Thus, you need to download the gnupg source (either 1.4.x or 2.0.x, depending on which version you're using anyway), read the doc/DETAILS file, and see if the method described there works for you. I just tried it with GnuPG 1.4.6, and it worked just fine here.
