Do you mean "copy a rectangle so that `C-x r y' can insert it"?  Or do
you mean "copy a rectangle so that `C-y' can insert it"?

If the former, this should do the job:

(defun copy-rectangle-as-kill (beg end)
   "Copy rectangular region into `killed-rectangle', but don't delete it.
The rectangle can then be yanked via \\[yank-rectangle]."
   (interactive "r")
   (setq killed-rectangle (extract-rectangle beg end)))
