I am guessing that by ".skr files" you mean PGP secret keyrings and by
"opening" you mean cracking the passphrase.
John the Ripper currently has no support for this, nor is such support
planned. Thus, this topic is not to be discussed on this mailing list,
unless someone would be willing to post some valuable technical detail,
contribute a patch for John, etc.
However, since this question already got in here, I'll point out that I
am in fact aware of a product - commercial and fairly expensive - that
would (attempt to) crack PGP secret key passphrases. It's Elcomsoft
Distributed Password Recovery:

(This web page is very new. Perhaps I should add the ancient PGPCrack
to it, just for the sake of completeness.)
