GPG should do that automatically if you assign a keyserver in the config
file for gpg.

I don't think that feature exists in current versions of PGP.Since
things have been migrating to gpg anyways (since NAI is pretty much
abandoning PGP), I am not certain if the effort would be worth it. 
(Unless you want to support PGP 2.x keys and that is a different can of
writhing vermicelli.)
