I see a way how this could possibly be achieved, even though it may be a
little complicated.

You could create a wrapper script that determines based on some logic
(e.g. some environment variable) whether to open a graphical pinentry or
pinentry-curses. The wrapper script would be configured in
gpg-agent.conf as "pinentry-program". Key point: the wrapper script
would need to exec the chosen pinentry programm (i.e. the real pinentry
replaces the wrapper).
