OSX: How to install gpg without Admin password

[Dan Bryant]

OK, this worked in getting the binaries extracted and by setting PATH
and DYNLD_LIBRARY_PATH I can get the bins to load and dump version
information... SUCCESS...

Now my biggest problem is getting the agent and pinentry (I assume) to
talk to gpg.

I was hoping I could set bindir, libdir, libexecdir with gpgconf
(gpgconf.conf) but I can't seem to figure out how to convice gpg to
look in nonstandard paths for binaries and libraries.  Seems to be
ignoring PATH environment.

Suggestions?
