Yes.  Make sure you have an elmrc file ($HOME/.elm/elmrc).  If you do
not, create one by going to the options menu ('o' command) and then
giving the save command ('>').  Now leave elm and edit the elmrc file.
In it you'll find two entries for signatures, shown below:


# local ".signature" file to append to appropriate messages...
localsignature =

# remote ".signature" file to append to appropriate messages...
remotesignature =

Change them to look like

localsignature = /home/lokkur/scs/.elm/signature

Put your signature in the file, and you're set.  See the reference
manual for more details.
