Yes, there is. The "openssl" command line utility won't let you create a
passphraseless key, but it will let you remove the password from an existing
key. Just do a command like this:

$ mv foo.key foo.temp
$ openssl -in foo.temp -out foo.key

You'll have to enter the passphrase for the openssl command, but it will let
you create the output (foo.key) without a passphrase.
