There are already a number of S/MIME gateways which do exactly this. The most typical mode of operation is org-to-org, where all mail from an organisation is routed through their corporate gateway anyway so it's a natural place to perform this operation. It works reasonably well, and is completely transparent to the end user (although org-to-org is rather easier to get going than end-user-to-end-user). The S/MIME WG has been working on a whole string of add-ons to basic S/MIME for handling this type of messaging, encrypted mailing lists, and assorted other useful stuff.
