It is not that hard:

Get the latest libgcrypt *new*pg and build them.  You probably don't
have libksba installed, so the configure script of newpg should figure
this out and only build the gpg-agent.  If you have problems, please
complain.

The pinentry is one package with implementations for Qt, Gtk+ and
ncurses.  I suggest to use the Gtk+ one which falls back to ncurses if
there is no DISPLAY.

Find both at 

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/aegypten/

Eventually the newpg stuff will be merged with GnuPG.
