Comment:

 You could, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. In theory, the
 MacPorts ssh-agent binary should be compatible to the Apple-provided one,
 although I've had reports of it crashing for users with me being unable to
 reproduce it.

 The gist is that switching to the MacPorts-provided ssh-agent binary as
 your system daemon only really makes sense if you want to use key types
 that are not supported by the system version, especially on older systems,
 as Apple is generally not updating software they ship within a release
 (short of bugfixes.)

 I can't promise an update soonishly, will probably take me few weeks.
