I finally figured it out. Using '--export-secret-subkey > file' and then
importing the file on a laptop is I believe all that's required.
The problem I was having had to do with KMail / KDE4. To be able to sign
and/or encrypt, KDE4 requires the .gnupg/gpg.conf file to contain a line
use-agent" and you have to have the relevant 'pinentry' program installed,
which in this case was pinentry-qt4, then make sure that the gpg-agent gets
started... etc.
