Yes, puttygen creates an openssh format public key along with the ssh2
compatible format public/private key. I just cut/paste the openssh public
key into authorized_keys2 manually. If thats not an option and you need to
copy the puttygen created key (ssh2 format) to the server using ftp or smb
then you would need to convert the key to openssh format using 

ssh-keygen -i -f id_dsa.pub >>~/.ssh/authorized_keys2
