You can use Argyll to do all of this.
Steps:
1. Use targen to generate a test chart
2. Use fakeread to fake results from your chart and for example the ISO Coated v2 profile
3. Use colprof to build the ICC profile using -kz to ensure that no K is generated until the CMY hit their maximum
You can also use xicclu on any profile to visualise and test different black generation settings before building your final profile.
