I'm not really sure what this ssh-askpass thing is or where it was
supposed to come from, but I found a great lack of information on
it when I switched myself to openssh (from the ports collection) a
long time ago, and in the interim I just put this in my .xsession
file:
env SSH_ASKPASS="$HOME/Bin/ssh-askpass.sh" ssh-add < /dev/null
Where $HOME/Bin/ssh-askpass.sh is a simple shell script:
#!/bin/sh
xprompt -rfn nil2 -re -p "Enter your password"
The xprompt program can be found in /usr/ports/x11/xprompt
