Invoking gpgkeys_ldap to fetch keys is pretty easy:

gpgkeys_hkp doesn't seem to be built as a standalone program (in 1.2.1),
however, so you'll be limited in the keyservers you can access until
you have it:

unless you use use wget/curl/etc. with the proper HKP request (URL):

  http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/code/kserver-all.asc
  http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/code/kserver-all
