If that is an 1024 bit RSA key, this is indeed possible. The HOWTO will tell you: http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/howtos.html#GnuPG-cardHOWTO In short: Use gpg --edit-key and then the command keytocard. The problem might be to convert an SSH key to a GnuPG key. There is no instant solution for 1.4 - with 1.9 and the gpg-agent SSH support is included and a mere ssh-add will be suffcient; but well the key is then stored in gpg-agent's own format. In general I do not suggest to do this at all. Better generate a new key on-card and use this as your new ssh key. It is pretty simple to change your ssh key and this allows you to slowly retire your old ssh key.
