RF gas-based lightning surge protectors are widely available;
look on eBay for items with words like:
Huber Suhner
Polyphaser
EMP surge lightning suppressor protector RGT gas
For example,

http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?satitle=Suhner+lightning
http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?satitle=EMP+surge
I'd be interested in reports on how well these work for GPS
antennas, both in terms of lightning protection and in terms
of attenuation, tempco, or phase delay.
