Registering a Spacewalk server to itself is absolutely a valid thing and something I highly recommend so that Spacewalk can monitor itself and issue notifications when packages need to be updated. The process for registering and updating a Spacewalk server is identical to any other client. You should also create a Spacewalk server channel just for the server.

All of my Spacewalk deployments have the server registered to itself for updates. 

Cheers,
Avi
