Using crypto all the way from the web server to a smart-card (so all the
compromised system can see is encrypted data it can't get the key for) can
help yere. 
Even then, you would need a card reader with integrated pinpad. Otherwise, the 
keylogger can still sniff the PIN code entry - and then generate any 
signature it wants by accessing the PC/SC layer directly (been there, done 
that).
