If I understand your question correctly, you could 
pass a structure containing your three entry boxes.

(untested code, of course..)
struct foo {
	GtkWidget *entry[3];
};

void button_callback( GtkWidget *widget, struct foo *data )
{
	/* do stuff */
}

void main_code()
{
	struct foo bar;
	...

	gtk_signal_connect( GTK_OBJECT(mybutton), "clicked",
		GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC(changer_callback), &bar );
	...
}

Hope this helps.
