I use security/keychain - it can handle both ssh and gpg keys, and sets environment in 
correct way for kdm login

====.kde4/env/keychain.sh
#!/bin/sh

# Start the agent and set the variables.
eval `keychain --attempts 5 --agents gpg,ssh 93E3B018 D5398F29 id_rsa id_dsa id_dsa_2`
=========================

====.cshrc
if (-f $HOME/.keychain/$HOST-csh) then
    source $HOME/.keychain/$HOST-csh
endif
if (-f $HOME/.keychain/$HOST-csh-gpg) then
    source $HOME/.keychain/$HOST-csh-gpg
endif
==========
