Thanks for the answers
what I did is this ( i feel that it is quite clumsy):

       Node* x = cast(Node*) (GC.malloc(Node.sizeof));
        *x = xa;
        x.up = curnode;
        ...

This is not that clumsy (except for you naming!). You have to allocate distinct memory cells for distinct programming elements that represent distinct entities in your (mental) modell, haven't you? D provides adequate features that allow you thinking thinking at a higher-level. But if you want to play at a lower-level, you'll need to juggle with pointer detail issues ;-)

which could be improved:
Node* x = new Node(...);//paste your constructor args in place of ...  if Node has a constructor, or just
Node* x = new Node;// if no constructors
