It seems no one has an answer for you yet... I remember a several years back, my friend imported an BMW M3 from Europe and when it landed in the U.S. via New York, he bought short term insurance for it and got temporary tags and drove the car to his home in Indiana. I'm sure that someone here who knows what you will have to do will see this thread, and give some credible advice.
Otherwise, keep trying to call the DMV...

Just check with NM to determine how long you have before registering the vehicle. Also check with the military post you're headed to. If not in the military keep trying the DMV.
