No, this is not possible in a reliable way. Gpg-agent is limited to one version of pinentry per session. The used pinentry binary is either a hardcoded version (depending on the build-configuration) or specified in gpg-agent.conf. For your use-case you would have to kill and restart gpg-agent with different contents of gpg-agent.conf depending on the purpose it is being used right now. Who or which process would determine this? You can see that this imposes practically insolvable obstacles. You can ask on the gnupg-users mailing list for such a feature.
