Lace the off side of the hub into a rim. Doesn't have to be neat or proper, or even complete, but you've got to have the leverage of the rim. Doesn't matter what rim. Clamp the hub, you'll destroy it. If you use the future intended rim and the future intended spokes, it'll be fine -- the spokes will just be a bit curly, a bit of a pain in the heiny for the real build-up, but workable.
It can be done.

Does anyone have experience (positive experience, that is) in removing a
freewheel from a hub that has been cut from a rim? Since this does not have the
leverage of a complete wheel, is there a way of clamping (holding) the hub
while removing the freewheel without damage to the hub?
