You'll want to download the nightly build of GPGTools:
https://nightly.gpgtools.com    <-- clearnet link

And then follow this guide:

^ That is way out of date and actually links to the program I was recommending: GPGTools.  (but make sure that if you are on a recent version of osx that you use the nightly builds found at the url i posted earlier)

The nightly builds can be unstable, they are mostly for developers and testers. Better use a proper final release version.

The stable release isn't very compatible with Mountain Lion -- or Mail in Mountain Lion, but the nightly builds are.  They are quick to fix issues for the next nightly build as well.  Haven't had any problems in a year of using the nightly builds.

So you update on a daily basis?
