It runs with my UID:
---snip---
(5) netchild@ttyp2 % ps auxww |grep \[s\]sh-agent
netchild   757  0.0  0.2  1976 1188  ??  Is    9:00am   0:00.01 ssh-agent

No, it uses our PAM:
---snip---
libpam.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpam.so.2 (0x281eb000)

(6) netchild@ttyp0 % ll /usr/lib/libpam.*
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel    127K  3 Nov 20:04 /usr/lib/libpam.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     11B  3 Nov 20:04 /usr/lib/libpam.so@ -> libpam.so.2
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel     25K  3 Nov 20:04 /usr/lib/libpam.so.2
