If you need to reduce the number of pins the LCD consumes, you can interface to a serial LCD like the one from sparkfun. This will offload all the LCD timing routines off the Arduino but will require the Software UART module and only needs 1 pin. You can also use a 2wire interface by using a shift register and AND gate mounted to a daughter board on the LCD. Ready to use modules are available for this style interface also.
