you can write a wrapper yourself as well, it's not that hard.

create an account and add the followings to the user's
~/.ssh/authorized_keys:

command="darcs-shell username" <original key>

this way you can have a system-wide darcs user and you can use many keys
for many users while not spamming /etc/passwd.

you can write darcs-shell based on an svn or git example. i wrote one
for git, which is available at:

http://git.frugalware.org/repos/vmexam/git/git-shell2

(sorry for the git hype, i don't have time to modify it for darcs atm,
but i'm sure it wouldn't be hard.)
