What sort of tunnelling do you want to use? You probably
would do something like:

dbclient -i /path/to/dropbear.key -L 1234:remotehost:remoteport tunnelhost

Where remotehost:remoteport is your destination and
tunnelhost is where you want to go through.

You can convert OpenSSH style keys to dropbear keys using
"dropbearconvert", or create a new dropbear key with
dropbearkey. puttygen can convert PuTTY keys to OpenSSH
style I think.
