gpg --edit-key [key ID]
then
Command> key N  where N is the subkey's index.
e.g. if the subkey whose validity you want to extend is the first listed
subkey, or if it is the only listed subkey, then the  command would be
Command> key 1
this will put a * after the word sub, indicating that this particular
subkey has been selected. then
Command> expire
and follow the prompts.

Hope this works for you, it works for me (Macintosh OS X 10.4.1)
