i think you might be interested in openpgp2pem from the monkeysphere
package.

I don't think this question is actually the question you want to ask.
"pure" RSA is extremely limited, and a secret RSA key is usually only
used for either signing or decrypting symmetric session keys, whether
that's in TLS or OpenPGP or CMS or any other place where RSA is used.
