You can already do this, I think:

    $ cfkey
    A key file already exists at /home/brendan/.cfagent/ppkeys/localhost.priv.
    $ cd ~/.cfagent/ppkeys/
    $ mv localhost.p* ~
    $ cfkey
    Making a key pair for cfengine, please wait, this could take a minute...
    Writing private key to /home/brendan/.cfagent/ppkeys/localhost.priv
    Writing public key to /home/brendan/.cfagent/ppkeys/localhost.pub
    $ 

Then you can rename the keys as you see fit, and install them on clients
and servers.

Not the cleanest thing in the world, but you can script it and add any
interface you want.

Best,
