I have not used 2.1 yet so I am not sure whether this still applies but 
I assume that.

You should be able to do this (see the following link):

http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2013-December/048362.html

1) Create a temporary config dir for gpg/aga-agent.

2) Create a config file for gpg-agent which replaces pinentry with your 
own script / program.

3) Use this temporary config dir for creating the key (or for changing 
its passphrase).

4) Export the new key.

5) Import the key file to the regular gpg config dir (delete it before if 
you just change the passphrase).

Could be easier but at least it should be possible (it is with 2.0.x).
