If you add the public key to your ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, that will
authorize you to log in to that account using the corresponding private key. 
I'm not sure what the corresponding authorized_keys file would be when using
MacSSH.

I recommend using a program called "keychain" to manage your ssh keys while
you're logged in.  There should be a Debian package for it.
