see no option for this in Xcode's preferences...
It seems a fair number of people are using this "SSH Agent" thing. Is
there a particular reason? I don't have it installed and I don't have
any problems using SSH within Xcode. I do have a couple bugs filed
about CVS support in Xcode not keeping file statuses up to date, and
not being very robust (CVS support goes bye-bye at the first sign of
trouble, e.g. if a checkin is attempted against a file with a sticky
tag). However, I don't believe those bugs are specific to SSH.
Anyway, the "use ssh instead of rsh" option is buried in the following:
Get Info on your Project -> General -> Enable SCM -> SCM System CVS ->
Edit...
It's *really* buried, but it is there. For me at least, I never had to
explicitly un-check the box. I read the posts you were referring to a
while ago, found the option, and it was already unchecked, and I had
never touched it. So, if you have never explicitly checked it in the
first place, then it might already be unchecked anyway. It was for me.

to all use/pay for perforce?
I think Xcode might have more problems with perforce than with CVS,
based on some of the posts I've seen and what the Xcode release notes
have to say about problems with Perforce support.
I'm hoping (AND filing a feature request!) to have Xcode support
subversion in a not-too-distant future release, now that subversion has
gone GM.
