What David meant was looking at the result XML of the GET request you should
be able to sort out the correct structure of the POSTed request. Said that,
here's an working cURL request made against a GS 2.0.2 instance:
curl -u admin:geoserver -XPOST -H "Content-type: text/xml" -d
"<featureType><name>MY_FEATURE_NAME</name><nativeName>MY_FEATURE_NAME</nativeName><title>MY_FEATURE_NAME</title><nativeCRS
class='projected'>EPSG:27492</nativeCRS><srs>EPSG:27492</srs><latLonBoundingBox><minx>-180.0</minx><maxx>180.0</maxx><miny>-90.0</miny><maxy>90.0</maxy><crs>EPSG:4326</crs></latLonBoundingBox><projectionPolicy>FORCE_DECLARED</projectionPolicy><enabled>true</enabled><metadata><entry
key='cachingEnabled'>false</entry></metadata><maxFeatures>0</maxFeatures><numDecimals>0</numDecimals></featureType>"

Hope this helps,
