asn1parse works "both ways", if that's what you mean; check the "genstr" 
and "genconf" parts of the man page.

Also, not my project but

https://github.com/wllm-rbnt/asn1template

is awesome! Sometimes, you start with a PEM / DER and working backwards 
towards the format asn1parse expects is super tedious. That tool is a huge 
time saver.

PS You can totally make keygen deterministic like that, but ofc you are 
deep into roll-your-own at that point. So ... tread lightly
