I expect the port to be maintained for the remaining lifetime of
the 3.x branch. This is of no concern to 4.x users, of course.

OpenSSH doesn't really have releases. The upstream version is
straight out of the OpenBSD repository. I assume several of our
developers monitor the OpenBSD commits and will carry over any
changes.

How do you handle updates to any other part of the system? Why do
you consider openssh a special case?

You can usually update individual parts of FreeBSD without doing
a "make world". cd /usr/src/... && make -jX install && make clean.
