Yes.

You don't need to do that. Just load the key into the agent using the 
ssh-add tool, as you would do if you were using the "regular" ssh-agent.

As long as gpg-agent is started with the --enable-ssh-support option, 
any program capable of talking to the "regular" ssh-agent can talk to 
gpg-agent. That's why you can just use ssh-add to load your key into the 
agent.
