Hmm. Try this:
% look at enco-def for guidance
\buildtextaccent\textdotaccent n
\definecharacter ndotaccent {\buildtextaccent\textdotaccent n}
\ndotaccent
%enco-acc provides some shortcuts:
\defineaccent . n {\ndotaccent}
\.n
\defineaccent " n {\ndotaccent}
\"n
...as you're making a composite glyph, YMMV with different fonts, as you
saw with variable macron spacing. If you want to activate the ", then
you're on your own...
