I've heard of gpgwww. Jason Harris runs it on his keyserver. The URL
below will trace the path between my key and yours, for example.
http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/gpgwww.cgi?from=0x5E1F1BCE&to=0xBCC
7863F

Since trust paths do not have to be symmetrical, the trust path in
the opposite direction can differ. The path between our keys is like
this for example. To trace the path from your key back to mine,
simply reverse the arguments:
http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/gpgwww.cgi?from=0xBCC7863F&to=0x5E1
F1BCE

I don't know about running this locally. It would be nice to have a
tool that would take into account your GPG trust levels. I don't know
if such a tool exists.
