Your machine can be registred to RHN. But as just ordinary machine. To 
be able sat-sync channel you must be registered as satellite (using 
rhn-satellite-activate). But RHN will not accept you satellite 
registration without satellite key. Spacewalk has different key. So to 
be able to activate as satellite you need that key. You can only get it 
with RHN Satellite subscription.

To summarize it:
No - it is not possible to subscribe plain Spacewalk to RHN as satellite.
Yes - is is possible to take your subscription of RHN Satellite, extract 
key from it and use it in Spacewalk and then subscribe Spacewalk to RHN.
