I figured this out minutes after posting:

First, start the ssh-agent:

        ssh-agent2 csh

Next, give the passphrase

        ssh-add2

The system asks for a response:

        Adding identity: //.ssh2/id_dsa_1024_a.pub
        Need passphrase for //.ssh2/id_dsa_1024_a (1024-bit dsa, foo@bar,

I give it the passphrase, and then I do not need to provide the passphrase
later.  Instead of using ssh in the pipe, I use my good old

ufsdump 0ufb server:/dev/rmt/0cbn 256 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
