Brian,
As you already pointed out, without having trusts, it is impossible to add the Primary Site server's computer account into the local Administrators security group on the remote site systems in the untrusted forest. You will need to specify credentials - during the deployment of the remote site system roles, that have Administrator access - to deploy the appropriate site system roles, and communicate with them. This is part of the site system role deployment wizard.

I need to be able to add my Primary Site computer account as an administrator on two site systems in my DMZ in this case. However, with no trusts I have no idea how this could possibly be achieved. Is this a requirement, if so, what options do I have? Thanks, Brian
