Assuming you've got the Apache magic in place to do the RSA 
authentication for you, it's not massively complex to get RT to use 
Apache's authentication and trust "REMOTE_USER"

You just need to add

Set ($WebExternalAuth , 1);
Set ($WebFallbackToInternalAuth , 1);

To your RT configuration And RSA protect the /SelfService directory

To use CAS (http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/CAS/Home) with the system 
I ended up using a couple of extra hoops to bounce you to a seperate 
page so I only had to do the authentication once (Getting partially 
logged out every 2 hours got annoying).  But it worked without them.
