The inlet doesn't have to be round, my foglight openings are rectangular and they worked fine. Like you said, it's good to have the opening area larger than the duct so it will scoop in more air and accelerate it into the duct. Just find an inlet piece with the smoothest taper down to the duct size that you can.
