Yes, It's easy to do. I currently have 27 keypair on my home machine: main
key + 2 Jabber keys + 24 old X.509/SMime keys (6 addresses * 2 CAs * 2 years)

At work (Windows, right?):

	gpg --export-secret-keys > A:\file.asc

At home:

	gpg --import a:\file.asc

You will need to set the trust on this imported key pair to Ultimate
(I got the key ID from your message to the list):

	gpg --edit-key 0xFE358C78 trust
	Select '5' for 'Ultimate'
	(Y)es you really want to do this
	save to exit

You can then set Enigmail to use the work key for signing newsgroup posts
for that news account in Thunderbird/Mozilla.
