As far as I know, there is no support for this in Mailman (that's not an
"official" answer, though). Sympa has S/MIME support, and may add PGP
support at some point
(http://listes.cru.fr/sympa/documentation/article_smime/sympasmime.html)

I would also take a look at shibboleth:

I'm not totally sure this will do exactly what you want, but it might be
worth looking at.
