I have the OpenSSH-ssh-askpass port installed (which created the program
/usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass), and I use the command
env SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/X11R6/bin/ssh-askpass /usr/bin/ssh-add
in my X session startup scripts to make ssh-add use ssh-askpass to request
my ssh passphrase. It seems to me that the name of the environment
variable you are using is incorrect (remove "_ENV" from the end).
