Probably you cannot without making some modifications to the source code.
What you can do, however, is remove the passphrase from your (RSA) key
with a command like this:
    openssl rsa -in private-key -out private-key.no-passphrase
This is arguably a bad idea, but will allow you to start Squid as you want.
