You can just turn on autosigning on the puppetmaster.

In the past I did something a bit more complex because we had a CA
hierarchy and client certs needed to be generated from the correct
signing authority - I did this as a ~20 line php web application that
pulled the reverse DNS of the requester and handed it a tarball of the
certs.

Honestly I'd probably just try to do something with autosigning on the
puppetmaster - pushing around private keys makes me uncomfortable just
on principle.
