I used to have the following in my .gnus.el file to do that sort of thing.

(defun mmp:248-sig()
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert-file "/u/mmp/.sig")
    (goto-char (point-max))
    (delete-backward-char 1)
    (insert-string "      ")
    (call-process "/u/mmp/bin/hfrac" nil t)
    (buffer-string)))

(setq gnus-posting-styles
      '(("^nnml:mail.cs248tas"
	 (signature mmp:248-sig))))
