If you need to build programs with GTK+ 2.0 support, the package that
you need to install is usually named something like libgtk2.0-dev on
Debian-like systems.

This information is actually available if you have "deb-src" lines in
your /etc/apt/sources.list, so that Apt can download information about
source packages; then you can try the following:

apt-cache search -n pinentry
(see that it shows a pinentry-gtk2 binary package)

apt-cache show pinentry-gtk2 | less
(it will tell you "Source: pinentry")

apt-cache showsrc pinentry
It will give you a list of packages in the Build-Depends field; those
are packages that the Debian package of pinentry needs so that it can
build properly with full support for all the backends.  You might
consider installing at least some of them.

G'luck,
Peter
