   Indeed. On my linux machine I get:   
      
   # gpg --list-secret-keys   
   /home/wilfred/.gnupg/secring.gpg   
   ...

   Just use:   
      
   # gpg --export-secret-keys --armor   
   -----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----   
   ...   
      
   And import the result on your other machine(s).   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
