This is actually pretty well-explaining, IMHO.

Anyway, it seems the essential step to put your ssh-key password into  
your keychain is to run ssh once with the -i option, e.g.

	ssh -i .ssh/id_dsa [email protected]

This will initiate the ssh section once, ask for the ssh-key password  
and store the password in the keychain.
For any future ssh session to this host, the system ssh-agent will  
then be able to retrieve the password from your keychain.
This is also what would make ssh connections in MacCvsX work, since  
you're no longer required to enter your password at
the command prompt...
