You can choose to add the keyserver option to your .gnupg/options file. 
Then gnupg will try to fetch a key from the keyserver if it doesn't 
find it in the keyring.

There's LDAP, too, and the CVS gnupg version (read: gnupg, not kmail) 
has experimental support for that. I have a little patch here (already 
posted to the ml) that does two things:

1. It uses red for the waring message on invalid signature
2. makes any unknown key-id a href anchor that links to a keyserver

Search the archive or ask me in private when you don't find it.
