Something that might work is assembling with gnu
assembler and then disassembling the generated code
with the deadlister program IDA, which can produce
Intel syntax code that you can copy & paste into a
text file which tends to assemble with minor adaptions
in NASM... Assembling it with MASM may be a bit more
tricky but I'm sure it's all doable :)
I have been succesful reverse engineering blocks of
cryptographic code from binaries before with this
approach, integrating them in projects while skipping
the necessity of identification/modification of the
blocks of cryptographic code themselves at an early
point in the reverse engineering proces.

cheers,
