I'd think you'd want to put the gear holes, and especially the registration hole(s), in the end before you start grinding lobes. Even with adjustable timing pulley/gears you still need all the lobes to be referenced to something.
Do you have a good workhead for your grinder? I picked up a surplus high-end grinder work spindle that I was thinking of turning in to a lathe headstock, but that's not likley to happen as it has no through-bore. I could make you a sweet deal on it... quad AC bearings and runout is not measurable on a 50-millionths indicator.
