Since all that actually gets pgp signed is the changes file, which is small, 
all you really need to do is something like:

cat file.changes | ssh yourcomputer pgp -f -sta > file.changes.asc

At least something like that, you get the idea. I've used some variation of
this, and it can be made to work, but I don't have the details available
now.
