You can take any of the ssh-config arguments, and pass them to ssh on the commandline as -o Key=value. So, for a simple one-host vagrant setup (you might have to do a little more work with grep or perl for a multihost setup), you can do something like the following (or replace perl with sed if you want):

ssh `vagrant ssh-config | tail -8 | perl -pe 's/^\s+/-o@/; s/\s/\=/;s/@/ /;s/\n/ /'` vagrant@localhost
