I've been poking around and there's an env var called SSH_ASKPASS that's supposed to make ssh get it's password by executing a command (you'd use it with CocoaDialog), but I can't get it to actually do anything.

SSH_ASKPASS only works for pass phrases to keys. And ssh asks for passwords using the controlling tty, not stdin. The only way to make ssh use transparent is by using public/private keys.
