It seems to me that if your tree contains TreeNodes, it should be trivial

have a constructor that takes a single TreeNode,

Yes, the JTree-related classes are missing a few things.

or that any of the known
TreeNode implementations (DefaultMutableTreeNode,
JTree.DynamicUtilTreeNode) includes a method to get a TreePath for that
node.

Well, it is not a TreeNode which is supposed to know a path. However, the output of DefaultTreeModel.getPathToRoot(TreeNode tn) can be used in a TreePath constructor. But that is via the model, not directly from a node, and only if you use (a subclass of) DefaultTreeModel.
