Yeah. Same way.
(I used to use Pine before I discovered mutt)
Press S for setup, then C for configure.
Go to the signature-file option, and enter:
uptime|
Here's an excerpt from Pine's online help (press ? on the sig option)

If you just want uptime, do the "uptime|" thing, otherwise, use a
script to combine text and output, such as:
#!/bin/bash
echo "-- "
echo "This is my funny quote:"
fortune
echo "This is my uptime:"
uptime
Call the script mysig, and put the value "mysig|" in the
signature-file option in Pine.
Try not to create appawlingly huge .sigs this way, for fortune, try
using the -n option to restrict the length.
