Details

The pinentry MAKEPKG file enables a bunch of x11 interfaces which causes it to link to a bunch of libs not pulled in by the dependencies.

(partial output)$ ldd $(which pinentry)
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found
libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found
libpango-1.0.so.0 => not found

Please --disable some features or expand the runtime dependency list.

Hm. The PKGBUILD deletes pinetry and symlinks it to pinentry-gtk-2... That explains the x11 binary dependency somewhat :)

The package is designed that way so it can even work in workstations without X (with pinentry-curses).
The X11 interfaces are all optional dependencies:
Optional Deps : gtk: for gtk backend
gtk2: for gtk2 backend
qt3: for qt3 backend
qt: for qt4 backend

That way you can choose which interface to use yourself. Theres plenty available:
pinentry pinentry-curses pinentry-gtk pinentry-gtk-2 pinentry-qt pinentry-qt4

That solution is the most flexible, at least without splitting the package, and gives you the right to choose yourself, instead of making choices for you.

Edit: I dont know the exact reason the pinentry binary is replaced though.
