Yes. I have some very ugly (but working) code in my ~/.profile:
# Find an ssh-agent socket, or start a new ssh-agent
if test -z "$SSH_AUTH_SOCK" && test -x /usr/bin/ssh-agent; then
sock=`netstat -l 2>/dev/null|grep ssh-|cut -c 58-|head -n 1`
if test -n "$sock"; then
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK=$sock
else
eval `ssh-agent`
fi
fi
I don't remember where I found the general idea (using netstat to locate the
already existing ssh-agent socket).

It would be nice if installing openssh-client would add ssh-agent to the
X session, like it does on desktops.
