GtkActionEntry is a convenience API for adding many actions to a
GtkActionGroup without manually creating each object yourself; there's
nothing that prevents you language bindings to reimplement this
functionality.

in this particular case, the data passed to the callback is the one you
pass to gtk_action_group_add_actions():

  void gtk_action_group_add_actions (GtkActionGroup       *action_group,
                                     const GtkActionEntry *entries,
                                     guint                 n_entries,
                                     gpointer              user_data);


you might want to replace GtkActionEntry with something that makes sense
in your language; in the Perl bindings, for instance, a GtkActionEntry
doesn't exist - it's either an hash reference or an array reference,
containing the same fields as the C structure.
