You may like security/keychain port (or package). I use it because of its 
universal way to run ssh-agent:
no matter what DE or window manager you use and how do you start it or not at 
all, working in ssh or console only.

One just adds single line to its login shell script, for bash it is 
~/.bash_login:

eval `keychain --eval $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa $HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519 $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa`

First time after machine reboots (sic!) it asks you for passphrase (if needed)
when you log in starting interactive login shell (no matter which way: 
ssh/X/console) and that's all.
It won't ask you again until next reboot, or ssh-agent reset by some other way.

You may even disconnect completely and it reuses started ssh-agent next time 
you log in again.
