Yeah, I had troubles with those 2048 bit DKIM records too. nsupdate will need it like this:

server X.X.X.X
zone ag-trek.de
update add test.ag-trek.de. 86400 IN TXT    "v=DKIM1; k=rsa;p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA3LmxUW2tnM07YbofiOGR3T6KS/BfHmyPYe0GOEEch/abeTjaL3OtuhmVmr4QMe2HV/6n5SBiVh4PE2wZxUcS2LMNbo5Hn7KO3UsTbIxCKuM6jvUpWtJPgC0uBGNkEARQVBSjW9pqYUQYkXzXLEULbu1AThgaUvCbVzWmvTQeEFXbBWP24O/" "LkiprI+iKRskRv0qgIOV0CRm32tk4MP/IcZBdjZ3sHrg3myjVJPfSUBOUyISXKRtiwfIgPeCj4V97Q+psmHvnDz9EID0eZaKih8neroRBETYDLFYjd6Pv9JTqrY7jXOHhM4kmOZOUyNXEIz22JVuaNSJbtXzNWTKpyQIDAQAB"


Break up the record in chunks of less than 255 byte, enclose each of these parts with "" and feed nsupdate all of these chunks seperated with a space on one line.
