There's -o, which can be made to do what you want. From the man page:

	-o ssh_option
		Can be used to pass options to ssh in the format used in the 
		ssh(1) configuration file. This is useful for specifying 
		options for which there is no separate sftp command-line 
		flag.  For example, to specify an alternate port use: 
		sftp -oPort=24.
