No but there's a plugin which allows just that. Credit goes to Bodo Möller

You need the separate RSA module, which is not part of GnuPG for patent reasons
(which only apply to the USA). The URL is
ftp//ftp.guug.de/pub/gcrypt/contrib/rsa.c
Compile it (the gcc command line that you need is given in a comment in that
file), move the resulting file to /usr/local/lib/gnupg/rsa, add the line
"load-extension rsa" to your ~/.gnupg/options file, and those keys
should become usable.
