Ok, still searching for a solution I just tried this
"createAutoloadRegistryForExtension"-stuff from Extbase...

$extensionPath = t3lib_extMgm::extPath('gpqg');
$pearPath      = $extensionPath . 'Resources/Libraries/PEAR/';

$classMap= array(
    'net_sftp' => "'{$pearPath}Net/SFTP.php'"
);

Tx_Extbase_Utility_Extension::createAutoloadRegistryForExtension(
'gpqg', $extensionPath, $classMap);

$sftp = new Net_SFTP(Sftp::host, Sftp::port);

The corresponding ext_autoload.php file looks like this:

$extensionClassesPath = t3lib_extMgm::extPath('gpqg') . 'Classes/';
return array(
	// All my Extbase classes come here first...
	'net_sftp' => '/path/to/Resources/Libraries/PEAR/Net/SFTP.php',
);


Still not happy,
