Description
There is a pinentry implementation, which only depends on MACOSX base system libraries under https://github.com/GPGTools/pinentry-mac
It would be very beneficial to have this project available as another variant of the pinentry port.
The most prominent benefit shoud be, that the PIN window always shows up in the foreground. At lest my gtk+2 variant always shows in the background, which makes this variant unusable for uninstructed users.

Are you still interested in this?
No, I won't be adding a new variant to pinentry, because pinentry-mac is completely different software with a completely different build system etc., but a new port.

Should be working as of r128215.
Only supports OS X 10.8+ though.
Just install the new port pinentry-mac and follow the messages printed after installation to set it as your pinentry program.
Users not having installed gpg-agent and pinentry (and being on 10.8+) will automatically get pinentry-mac as a dependency whenever gpg-agent is installed.
