Hmm, according to
http://pcb.sourceforge.net/pcb-20070208/pcb.html#Object%20Flags :

0x10000 nopaste 
    For pads, set to prevent a solderpaste stencil opening for the
    pad. Primarily used for pads used as fiducials.

So, if that worked as advertised, one could just create an Element-file
containing the text:

  Element["" "fiducial" "" "" 0 0 0 0 0 100 "hidename"]
  (
          Pad[0 0 0 0 5000 5000 10000 "fiducial" "0" "round,nopaste"]
  )

and add it to the layout via Menu 'File' -> 'Add element data to paste
buffer'.
