I'm facing the same problem. I'm looking for client authentication in GAE application using Google credentials. As I understand users API doesn't provide such interfaces. I also looked at OAuth and AuthSub module. You're right, they're for another purpose. So the problem can be solved "unofficial way", simulating user's behaviour during signup in the client.
Ofcourse it can be implemented another way, if one decide not to use Google credentials for authentication and implement own users' table and some authorization.
