There are several way to achive this. See the manual for the functions

  gpgme_error_t gpgme_data_new_from_cbs (gpgme_data_t *dh,
				       gpgme_data_cbs_t cbs,
				       void *handle);

  gpgme_error_t gpgme_data_new_from_fd (gpgme_data_t *dh, int fd);

  gpgme_error_t gpgme_data_new_from_stream (gpgme_data_t *dh, FILE *stream);

The last one would probably best fit for your example code.  Note,
that these function have not been as thoroughly tested as other parts
of gpgme, so don't hesitate to ask if you have problems.
