from gpg(1):

       --gen-revoke
                 Generate a revocation certificate for  the  com­
                 plete  key.  To  revoke a subkey or a signature,
                 use the --edit command.

and

       --edit-key name
                 Present  a  menu which enables you to do all key
                 related tasks:

                 revsig    Revoke a signature.   GnuPG  asks  for
                           every signature which has been done by
                           one of  the  secret  keys,  whether  a
                           revocation  certificate should be gen­
                           erated.

So it looks like you can generate a revokation certificate for a particular 
signature.
