Err... I bet some things must be checked:

1) do you have KGpg installed ?
2) did you build yourself a signature in KGpg ?
3) if so, is KGpg deamon running (ie present in the systray) ?

If all this is clear, you'll have access to configuration of security/crypto 
after enabling them (tickbox) in (from kontact):

-> settings -> configure kmail -> security -> crypto backends.

Please search the mailing list for keywords:
"Can't gpg sign e-mail" &&
"Boyan Tabakov turned Green ! (PGP KGpg topic)"

start dates 19 sept 2006 & 19 jan 2004

the first one is a rather long thread, but mainly with help from Boyan & Anne 
I got all this security stuff up & running along these lines.

P.S.: As Boyan did at the time, you are welcome to "sign" my key, I can sign 
yours for testing purposes as well so you can try all the features, 
valid/invalid signatures, encrypted messages & the like. Don't hesitate to 
use my private address to send try-outs.
