If you have an authentication-capable subkey on your OpenPGP key, you
might be interested in monkeysphere (http://web.monkeysphere.info/),
which has some tools for importing authentication-capable RSA subkeys
into a running ssh-agent.

i'm part of upstream on the monkeysphere project, and i recommend using
OpenSSH's implementation of ssh-agent over any other implementation,
including the implementation in gnupg-agent.  The OpenSSH folks have
done a really solid job for every day use.

As far as i know, that doesn't exist yet, but i'd like to see it as well.
