Leopard also has its own ssh agent that can look up your private key password from an OS X keychain. My only beef with it is that the agent seems to keep running indefinitely, so even if you lock your keychain at some point, the private key remains accessible. Still, it works well where automated scripts are concerned.

If you try to use it with scp you'll be prompted for the private key password, which brings you back to the original problem of avoiding a password.
You can set up a passphraseless key, or you can install something like SSHKeychain, which lets you store your SSH key passphrases in the OS X Keychain.
