I think (and I haven't tried it) that you could use your regular tools (Sigil, or vim or notepad) to create an epub2 file, then unzip it and use a text editor (like vim or notepad) to manually add the epub3 features and attributes you require. Then run it through Kindlegen tog et your final kf8 file.

That's the theory, I think. The practice will undoubtedly be different...
