Sure, it is possible. Actually there is no need to copy the
secring.pgp because a gpg --card-edit or --card-status should create a
fresh key stub. Along with the fetch command in --card-edit this
should make it all pretty easy.
However, I just tested it and there seems to be a problem. A debugger
needs to be thrown on import.c:auto_create_card_key_stub to see what
is going on.
