Do you mean generate a new address, or get a private key from a address already in the wallet?

generate a new address in the default account wallet is on the command line
if on unix
Code:
bitcoind getnewaddress ""

to get the private key of a address

Code:
bitcoind listaddressgroupings

Find the address you are looking for in the list and copy it.

Code:
bitcoind dumpprivkey <paste the  copied address here>


You can do the same in the debug window in bitcoin-qt
