What do you mean by key size? The indicator returned by
gnutls_pubkey_get_pk_algorithm()?

I've just added (not tested yet) gnutls_pubkey_import_privkey() that
will import the public parameters from a gnutls_privkey_t structure.

Thus it would still be quite some calls, but you don't need to export
anything. How does it look?

gnutls_x509_privkey_init(A)
gnutls_x509_privkey_import(A)
gnutls_privkey_init(P)
gnutls_privkey_import_x509(P,A)
gnutls_pubkey_init(B)
gnutls_pubkey_import_privkey(B,P)
