Can you use this same method if you have the DK kit only?

It is good habit not to post new questions in an existing thread. Since this is unrelated to the question being asked here, I'd recommend that you post a new one.

Is this possible to do using a different toolchain than Segger and nRFgo Studio? For example, if I use another debugger than Segger connected to GDB?

To flash a softdevice into an nRF51822, you need to use nRFgo Studio and a Segger programmer, for example a J-Link Lite, which comes with the Development Kit or the on-board chip on the Evaluation Kit. Select the correct board in the lower left device manager of nRFgo Studio, choose the softdevice hex file in the right-hand pane, and click program. Afterwards, things should look like the attached screenshot.

This is also described in the User Guides of the nRF51822 Evaluation Kit and nRF51822 Development Kit.
