I downloaded the pam-ssh module and gave it a quick look: it would seem that there is one general flag-file per user, _plus_ one flag-file per login (so if you log in in two ttys you'd have three flag files). Also I see that the flag files to store the information about the agent PID and socket location, so it should be relatively easy for pam-ssh to check if the agent in question is actually running.
