I don't think that it can be easily ported to plain MVS, frankly I
removed all initial support for it due to the advance of GNU/Linux
running on these machines.

It should be possible to build it in the POSIX substem - the problem
is that you need a source of random there - maybe a 4753 can be used
for it.

There used to be a PGP 2 port for MVS (iirc, by Harald Denker) but
this is pretty much outdated and not OpenPGP compatible.

Using an extra PC box for running GnuPG might be another choice for
you.
