No, I guess not. You can probably set the fingerprint of the subkey 
manually in your ~/.kde/share/config/emailidentities . I haven't tested 
whether that works.

Another option might be to define the subkey as default signing key 
somehow (e.g. in your GnuPG configuration). I'm not sure whether this is 
possible.
