You may want to look at xmlSecCryptoAppKeyLoadMemory(), e.g.

dsigCtx->signKey =
  xmlSecCryptoAppKeyLoadMemory(pubkey, strlen(pubkey), 
xmlSecKeyDataFormatPem, NULL, NULL, NULL);

assuming you have your key in

char *pubkey =
"-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n\
MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDMYkh5vHrw5uBp4BFZgyLKnbko\n\
qfQqiZuOfUdwTfg+i5J9rPpkEiX3TDIkLiDqV+GTbgOjip2psKMNkcQmdHZhUcVd\n\

-----END PUBLIC KEY-----";
