Yeah.
One possible way might be to have emacs start its own gpg-agent daemon,
specifying a custom pinentry program that uses emacs itself for
interaction (Emacs would set the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable to
communicate that to invocations of gpg). That seems a wee-bit
heavyweight, since Emacs generally doesn't know whether you're going to
run gpg, but I suppose it might be a reasonable option for people that
use a long-running Emacs session.
[This is all post-release stuff though, obviously...]
