You put in the "footprint" for the pads where the transformer connects
to the PCB.  I.e. something with just two or four pads and nothing
else.  Then, you don't have a footprint for the transformer itself,
but you do happen to have the connection points where the transformer
is wired to the board.

I.e. create a footprint with nothing but four pads and call it
"xfmr_pads" and use that in gschem.
