What I'm trying to do is a grey balance control strip to be used in

Ah - perhaps you should have mentioned that initially :-)
If you set the right -k option (ie. xicclu -fif -kv), then the fourth
number is the target K value, so if the color is in gamut, the K
target will be met exactly, ie:
./xicc/xicclu -kv -fif cmyk.icm
50 0 0 0
50.000000 0.000000 0.000000 [Lab] -> Lut -> 0.571222 0.465793 0.503049 0.000000
[CMYK]
50 0 0 .5
50.000000 0.000000 0.000000 [Lab] -> Lut -> 0.213566 0.155089 0.190922 0.500000
[CMYK]
50 0 0 1
50.000000 0.000000 0.000000 [Lab] -> Lut -> 0.029284 0.000000 0.038167 0.594197
[CMYK]
thereby possibly avoiding the need to create a separate CMY profile.
cheers,
