A very belated response to this:

Okay, now I have two installations of GPG on my system, which kind of sucks, but oh, well.

I don't think you need to have two separate installations. You can just symlink /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2 to /usr/local/bin/gpg (or wherever you have GPG installed).

The only further thing you need to do, I think, is to ensure you have a GUI pinentry program. You can install such a program with:

brew install pinentry-mac

And then just set the "pinentry-program" in ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf to /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac.

As far as I can tell, that all works fine for me.

Of course, be careful using GPG with email, given the recent EFAIL vulnerability.

is it possible to have MailMate use GPG from Homebrew? Right now, Homebrew complains it can't update GPG because there is a non-Homebrew link in `/usr/local/bin`...

MailMate is currently hardcoded to use `/usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/gpg2`.

So actually the symlink in `/usr/local/bin` isn't needed! So I can tell HomeBrew to overwrite that symlink.
