I think I just figured out the answer to my own question. I came up with the following, if someone else has a better method, please feel free to post, otherwise, hopefully this will help others out.
ssh ${LOGINUSER}@${HOSTNAME} "cd ~/.ssh; if [[ -f authorized_keys ]]; then "cp -p authorized_keys authorized_keys.orig" ; fi"
ssh ${LOGINUSER}@${HOSTNAME} "cd ~/.ssh; if [[ -f authorized_keys2 ]]; then "cp -p authorized_keys2 authorized_keys2.orig" ; fi"

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)
NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine (presumably using a login password, so password authentication should be
enabled, unless you've done some clever use of multiple identities)
It also changes the permissions of the remote user's home, ~/.ssh, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys to remove group writability (which would oth-
erwise prevent you from logging in, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in its configuration).
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary)
