I was able to figure this out. The solution:
1) Go to my home machine (which has the trinity archive keyserver ports
open) and from root issue
apt-key export >trinity.key
2) copy (actually scp) the trinity.key to the work machine which has the
keyserver ports closed.
3) as root on the work machine issue
apt-get add trinity.key
4) problem solved.

Recall below the method for obtaining the GPG signing

trinity project.
2. Add the GPG signing key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver
keyserver.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net
--recv-keys 2B8638D0
At home, I have no problem at all doing this through my ISP (comcast).
However, at work, the port used for obtaining the key is blocked so I
cannot add the key to my work data base. I had the same problem with
ubuntu keys and had to gain special permissions just to get the key.
I was hoping there may be a simpler way to just copy the key over, and
install it. Can you send instructions with it ?
Thanks
