There is no feature for it.  You may use gpgsplit to manually construct
a key from such a backup.  You need to take the keybinding signature etc
from the matching public key.  I have not tried, it though.  If you look
on the backup file using "gpg --list-packets" wyou will see that it is a
standard secret key packets - but just that packet without any
self-signatures or user-ids.
