The man page for gpg-agent suggests you can set that with the 
--pinentry-program option. I haven't tried this myself, but adding 
something like

pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-curses

to ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf should work (provided the package 
pinentry-curses is installed, of course). You probably have to make the 
gpg-agent reload its configuration for that to take effect.

A web search for 'force gpg-agent to use terminal' came up with some 
interesting pages, but most of those refer to the previous version of 
gpg2/gpg-agent so some of the suggestions are no longer valid (like the 
one that mentions --no-use-agent - that simply won't work anymore).

Regards,
Frank
