Is there a way to make a paper wallet for NMC addresses?

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

The same way you would for any other coin works.

I tried running namecoind in wallet, server, and mining mode. The [namecoind dumpprivkey Nxxx] command returns "Method not found" or "Server not found" every time.

You are using an old version of namecoind.

dumpprivkey didn't exist in 0.3.24.66 and before (try namecoind getinfo and look for the "version" field).

You can still use pywallet with your wallet

You can use vanitygen with the -N option.

Did I get this right:
1.) get vanitygen from https://github.com/samr7/vanitygen or https://github.com/downloads/samr7/vanitygen/vanitygen-0.20-win.zip
2.) create a new pair of public/private keys using vanitygen -N
3.) send some namecoins to the newly generated public key (i.e. public NMC address)
4.) import the public/private keys to namecoind as soon as you want to use the namecoins
(or import the keys instantly, if you prefer)
You need namecoind V3.50, of course, as importprivkey and dumpprivkey didn't exist before.

Has anyone tried this? Did it work?

Cassini, that's what I did, although I haven't tried step 4 yet.

I can't seem to import the private key.  I made a private key awhile back and sent a good amount of namecoin to a private key now I can't seem to import the key.  I googled quit a bit you guys are the only ones even talking about importing namecoin private keys.

It's exactly like importing Bitcoin private keys
I don't know if NMC has an importprivatekey option, but pywallet can do it
It's not exactly the topic here though, so consider opening a new thread and/or PMing me if you want
