Darcs apply has a --verify option.

I don't think so. I think it's the patch bundle that is signed, not
the patches, and so the signature is discarded once the patches are
applied. ISTR some discussion a while back about adding the ability to
sign inventories and the like, which was necessary to provide
end-to-end accountability, but I didn't follow too closely.
