I don't know of a single command that can do that, but often just  
doing a kill and a yank right away (replacing the text you yanked) is  
the easiest way to get something into the kill ring, if you can get  
over the appearance of having "deleted" text you actually want. Also,  
check out M-@ to mark words going forward, that's a nice one I  
discovered recently.
