You can just select the objects and enter a number into the "Size" field 
in the section "Text Properties" of the tab "Text".  This will change the 
text size of all objects and the attached attributes, but…

this won't work as you imagine.  pinname= and pinnumber= attributes are 
attached to the pin objects inside the symbol, not the component object 
referencing the symbol from the schematic.  So, if you want to change the 
size of pinname= or pinnumber= attributes, you have to create your local 
copy of the symbols and change the text size there.

(You could also embed the symbols with similar effect, but this is is 
poorly supported by gschem, and I'd advise against it.)
