Thanks to John Morton, this is already available in a patch.

You'll need to add fade-in/out support yourself if needed.  Something
like this in oggvorbis_format.c will do it:

After: vgplay_new_track_vc(priv->vgstate, priv->vc);
Add: vgplay_fade_in(priv->vgstate, .1, priv->vgstate->fade_time);

Then, to fade-in to a reduced volume, call ogg123 like this:
ogg123 --limiter scale_hard --fade-time 5 --preamp -10 /filename.ogg
