Yes. Instead of using libssh2_userauth_password(), use libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile():

      rc = libssh2_userauth_publickey_fromfile(session,
                                               "username", [pubkey UTF8String],
                                               [privkey UTF8String], "");

The pubkey and privkey variables in the example are NSStrings containing the path to the file. There's also an API for doing it from memory, but I haven't tried that.
