GPGME supports pinentry modes since 1.4.0 (release early 2013):

7.4.7 Pinentry Mode
-------------------

 -- Function: gpgme_error_t gpgme_set_pinentry_mode (gpgme_ctx_t CTX,
     gpgme_pinentry_mode_t MODE)

     SINCE: 1.4.0

     The function ‘gpgme_set_pinentry_mode’ specifies the pinentry mode
     to be used.

     For GnuPG >= 2.1 this option is required to be set to
     ‘GPGME_PINENTRY_MODE_LOOPBACK’ to enable the passphrase callback
     mechanism in GPGME through ‘gpgme_set_passphrase_cb’.

After having sshed into the other box run there:

  gpg-connect-agent updatestartuptty /bye


Salam-Shalom,
