I don't think that's how go packaging works. Go usually statically links everything at compile time and bundles the sources with modules. So from a yocto point of view you only need to create one recipe with everything inside. Have a look at the dependency of the Debian package of git-lfs [1] they are very minimal. I havent' tried but maybe devtool might produce something useful very quickly.
