STFW yielded the answer:

Running Application Menu -> Settings -> Settings Editor:

     Click New button:

	Property	/startup/ssh-agent/enabled
	Type:	Boolean
	Value:	TRUE
	Save

     Click New button:

	Property:	/startup/ssh-agent/type
	Type:	String
	Value:	ssh-agent
	Save


I also fixed another warning:

     xauth:  file /home/dpchrist/.serverauth.1036 does not exist


/usr/local/bin/startx calls xauth on line 182-184, and xauth issues the 
warning:

     182     xauth -q -f "$xserverauthfile" << EOF
     183 add :$dummy . $mcookie
     184 EOF


STFW yielded a suggestion:

Hacking startx:

     toor at freebsd:/usr/local/bin # diff startx-20170111-1934-orig startx
     182c182
     <     xauth -q -f "$xserverauthfile" << EOF
     ---
     >     touch $xserverauthfile; xauth -q -f "$xserverauthfile" << EOF


Now I'm trying to get Panel -> Action Buttons -> Lock Screen working.
