Yes, though it requires the keys to be in Dropbear format.
You can either use keys generated with dropbearkey, or
convert an OpenSSH key with dropbearconvert
( dropbearconvert openssh dropbear openssh.key dropbear.key ).

Just pass the keyfile to dbclient with -i. Currently there
isn't support for encrypted private keys or using ssh-agent,
I plan to implement those eventually.
