I never noticed this before, but maybe it's always been there. In Keychain Access (in 10.5 at least), you can Control-click on any item in the list of stored items and select Copy Password to Clipboard from the pop-up menu. It will then ask you for your keychain password before copying the selected password. Provide the keychain password, and you'll then find the selected password on your clipboard.

[robg adds: I've never noticed this before, and a quick sample of five buddies in iChat found that none of them knew about it either. Based on that, I decided to run this one, even though it's not really a hidden feature.]
