another way to do this, *possibly* without the need for gpg, is doing this 
from a cron job on another machine, preferably a locked-down desktop:
 	ssh root at myserver '/usr/sbin/chkrootkit'

of course, this requires public-key authentication in ssh (that's a good 
thing, if used properly), and you can still encrypt the output, similar to 
described earlier. you can even generate an ssh key-pair that can ONLY be 
used to run a specified command, so if someone gets a hold of your 
unencrypted private key (~/.ssh/chkrootkit_id_rsa) , all they can do with 
it is check for rootkits... and maybe you specified that the output's 
encrypted...
