It does not seems impossible. The only trouble here is that gdcm does 
not understand tiff input. Therefore you have multiple options:
- code yourself the tiff parser for gdcm (very difficult)
- use imagemagick and convert to raw input, task should be then easier.
- Use ITK (http://itk.org) which support TIFF and has gdcm for its DICOM 
lib (much easier).

My 2 cents

Ps: gdcm has no advanced notion of XA, so you'll have to add all the 
proper tags yourself unfortunately.
