You can *create* geometry without a loader - yes.

I don't know much about worldforge.  Generally, to sent something
over a network, you have to convert it to a neutral format - and
probably the best way to do that would be to save it to disk and
transmit the file across the net...but it depends a LOT on how
much generality you need and the volume and speed of data you expect
to send.

You could check the example program:

    examples/src/ssg/majik

...that creates a polygonal skin from a regular height field.
