Probably not; Gnus doesn't know that a PGP message blob is signed or
not, it just assume it is (only) encrypted. Parsing the output from
GnuPG and looking for GOODSIG and similar text could work (although
one should be careful not to use data from the message itself), but
perhaps the proper solution is to write a simple OpenPGP message
decoder, like Gnus do to distinguish between signed, encrypted or
enveloped PKCS#7 aka CMS aka S/MIME messages.
