Save the output of ssh-agent's invocation somewhere, say in ~/.ssh/rc.agent:
$ ssh-agent > .ssh/rc.agent
$ . .ssh/rc.agent
Then, use ssh-add to load the keys to the background agent:
$ ssh-add .ssh/id_dsa
Other shells, even ones that are started from different sessions, much
later, can source the ~/.ssh/rc.agent script and use the already loaded
keys. Make sure you don't leave an ssh-agent running and leave for
vacations or something though, because that defeats the entire non-empty
password thing :-)
