There's already a pinentry-gnome3 package, so yes (just named differently).

I couldn't manage pinentry-gnome3 to work properly on sway. I have "pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-gnome3" in gpg-agent.conf and when I start a program (pass) from terminal, curses based interface appears. When I try to select a password to decrypt with wofi (a dmenu like program), nothing happens visually but when I check running processes from terminal, I can see gpg2 and gpg-agent processes are running. But pinentry-gtk works fine and shows me a graphical dialog box in both cases, that is why I am using it. How can I make pinentry-gnome3 to work on a non-GNOME environment?

If you uninstall pinentry-gtk and install pinentry-gnome3 it should get the priority automatically, unless there is some bug in the selection in /bin/pinentry.

You might need to kill the agent first after changing the configuration.

I had pinentry-gnome3 installed but it was falling back to curses with the error message:

No Gcr System Prompter available, falling back to curses
OK Pleased to meet you

After manually installing gcr package, the problem was solved and I got pinentry-gnome3 working.
I am using sway and installing pinentry-gnome3 didn't pull gcr as dependency.
