You can use the curses pinentry program.  The prompt is due to gpg2
using gpg-agent.  In ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf, add:

pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses

You may also need to set GPG_TTY in your shell init file as well.  For
example, in ~/.bashrc:

export GPG_TTY=`tty`

Give info gnupg 'Invoking GPG-AGENT' a read.  I found that helpful a
while back.
