No.  This is a limitation of the SSH under Cygwin 1.5.x.  You can try
Cygwin 1.7 <http://cygwin.com/#beta-test> which provides more options to
deal with the issue of public key authentication.  See 
<http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-setuid-overview> for 
details and
options.  "Method 2" is probably what you want.
