Or, in 1.2.5 and above, use the multifile option:

    gpg --multifile --encrypt tobeencrypted/*

That would get you an individually encrypted file for each file in the
directory.  You might also want to just tar up the directory and then
encrypt that.

    tar -cf - dir/ | gpg -r 0x0123456 --encrypt -o dir.tar.gpg
