I don't think --homedir does work in a way you would need it to work.
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ can include various additional keyrings - the
debian-archiv-keyring is one of them. So beside /etc/apt/trusted.gpg
you have to pass also all the keyrings in this directory to gpgv.
$ run-parts --list /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/ --regex '^.*\.gpg$'
Will get you a list of files to add. See also apt-key for an example.

But maybe you are able to use SigVerify::RunGPGV in apt-pkg/indexcopy.cc
or apt's gpgv method (/usr/lib/apt/methods/gpgv) text interface instead of
reimplementing them, depending on what you actually need.
