You can use Delegate.CreateDelegate to accomplish your goal like this:

public void RegisterHandler(string name)
{
    EventInfo e = mappings[name];
    EventHandler handler = (s, raw) =>
        {
            func.Call(this, raw.GetParameters());
        };
    e.AddEventHandler(this, Delegate.CreateDelegate(e.EventHandlerType, null, handler.Method));
}
