As UML2 has an Ecore model, you can use Xtext to write a DSL that instantiates it (or parts of it). Search for "imported metamodels" in the Xtext documentation.
I would not recommend implementing another model-2-model transformation to get form some DSL model to a UML2 model. That is error prone and a horror to synchronize. Into the bargain, you usually loose/mess up the 2-way-mapping (DSL text<->Model) you'd get for free with Xtext.
I'd in general never recommend using UML2 as I consider it gigantic, overblown and inflexible. If your usecase is primarily about visualizing a DSL, there are better solutions, e.g. FXDiagram.
