Depending on how critical your application is here you may be able to 
get somewhere near using ArgyllCMS's fakeread utility, and generating a 
CMY profile based upon your CMYK profile.

The process will involve generating a CMY target (.ti1 file) and 
"massaging" it in a spreadsheet so each CMY value is promoted to CMYK, 
and the K value set to zero.

You can then read XYZ Values for each CMY combination in the target from 
your CMYK profile, using fakeread.

More "massaging" is then needed on the resulting .ti3 file to remove the 
extraneous K column from the data.  The .ti3 file now contains CMY 
values and their corresponding values in XYZ space, according to your 
CMYK profile, from which you can build a CMY profile.

You can then use that CMY profile in conjunction with TYPE_CMY_16

How well this works will depend, I guess, on how much information the 
profile has in its AtoB table.

I just tried it here, and while it's a bit long-winded it actually takes 
longer to explain than to do - so mail me off-list if you'd like more 
information.

All the best,
