I posted it to gnupg-devel, but this thread seems to have migrated.
You can get it from
http://www.jabberwocky.com/crypto/patch.gnupg-1.0.6.dms.photoid.2

Strictly speaking it doesn't require X - it just runs an external
program to display the photo.  If you have a program that will work
without X, then it should work fine.  You can also save the photo to a
regular JPG file for future use, and that doesn't require any graphics
display at all.

V3 of the patch coming soon.  I have some good stuff to add :)
