A bit more info about your use case might be helpful (and intriguing!).
If you're just trying to create a new asym-encrypted copy of an existing
GPG session key (or something similar) then there might be a way. If
you're thinking of encrypting large amounts of data directly with
asym-encryption, then I'll question your sanity. ;-)
