Prime number generation is typically done like this. Pick a random number, then add 2 until you get a prime. So you can do something similar. Pick a deterministically generated bit string, and use as key the next prime number (you need to do it twice, for p and q). You certainly get less security and I unfortunately don't have any reference to quantify that. As I was saying in another post, I'm writing about deterministic password generation (i.e. not RSA keys).
