For this security/pinentry is needed. It comes in several flavours: curses, gtk, gtk2 or qt. I believe the default for the pinentry port is to build all variations. gnupg2 is not fully functional without pinentry installed, but you can go for the curses-only interface by setting certain make variables. Ofcourse, you could also stay with gnupg1 (which is still developed in parallel) and doesn't require additional libraries and external programs. Gnupg1 doesn't include some more exotic new features, but it's functional.
