on the debian machine, I've run;

 gpg --export-secret-keys > secret.asc

on the pcBSD machine I've run;

 gpg --allow-secret-key-import --import secret.key 
gpg: key ********: "Rodney D. Myers <rdmyers.42 at gmail.com>" not changed
gpg: key ********: secret key imported
gpg: key ********: "Rodney D. Myers <rdmyers.42 at gmail.com>" not changed
gpg: key ********: secret key imported
gpg: Total number processed: 8
gpg:              unchanged: 2
gpg:       secret keys read: 8
gpg:  secret keys unchanged: 6

and I still get the following;

gpg --sign Test.txt
gpg: signing failed: No secret key
gpg: signing failed: No secret key
