We have rudimentary support for this in the latest release of KeySync:
https://guardianproject.info/apps/keysync/

It will read a DSA subkey from your GnuPG secret key and convert it
into main different OTR formats.  Writing out to various OTR formats
works pretty well, its the reading from GnuPG that is rudimentary.

Please try it out and let us know how it works for you!
