If you just need the structure I would suggest scripting the whole database and then running the script on your local server and deleting any cubes that you don't need. This is because you need to have a database to script the cube into and you need to bring the dsv, data sources and database dimensions along so that the cube will work.

I've been playing with a Powershell script to generate the xmla script for a single cube and all the dependant objects, but it's not quite finished. For the time being I would say to go with scripting the whole database and deleting what you don't need later.
