I know how to mount sftp connection in kubuntu (using Dolphin), but this way it's impossible to use private key file. Is there any way to mount a sftp resource using key file in kubuntu?

Load the key into ssh-agent. Kubuntu starts one by default, so all you should have to do is:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

The SFTP kioslave supports private key authentication without SSH agent if you pass the username with the hostname, e.g.
sftp://test@example.com
in dolphin/konqueror will try authenticating with a private key and ask for its password (if the key is password protected).
P.S. Posting here because it's pretty high in the google search results.
