Hi Quentin,
dropbear does support them
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Signature_Algorithm>.

$ dropbearkey
Must specify a key filename
Usage: dropbearkey -t <type> -f <filename> [-s bits]
Options are:
-t type    Type of key to generate. One of:
        rsa
        dss
-f filename    Use filename for the secret key
-s bits    Key size in bits, should be a multiple of 8 (optional)
           (DSS has a fixed size of 1024 bits)
-y        Just print the publickey and fingerprint for the
        private key in <filename>.


Regards,
Alejandro Mery
