I opened an account with DKB when I was still living in Sweden. Reasonably simple, just needed to send them a recent credit report and drop by the embassy to get a certified copy of my id card. If you're visiting Germany you can do the latter at any post office. You have to communicate with them in German, though. They don't do English as a matter of policy.
I wish it was that easy to get a Dankort when not living in Denmark...
