Assuming you are running on some Unix flavor, use ssh-agent to start your X
session:

    ssh-agent startx

and in your .xinitrc file (or equivalent) execute

    ssh-add </dev/null

You will be prompted for your passphrase.  It will be stored in the
authentication agent who will then do the passphrase dance on your behalf in
any of your xterm windows, from xemacs (using ediff, etc) or from other
ssh-aware programs.
