The reply from Scott helped me out alot.. Ill paste it below:

"Hi Adam

The question should actually go to freebsd-questions rather than newbies,
but as my sendmail server has DNS problems and I can't cc either list I'll
just answer  :)

The easy way....rather than using ports do this.
Just get the source from (sorry about the word wrap there)

ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/OpenSSH/portable/openssh-3.1p1.tar.gz

It compiles with no trouble, as long as you specify your directory structure
in the Configure.  I used:

./configure --with-pam --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --prefix=/usr
make
make install
killall -HUP sshd

Then it upgrades without conflict.
Just in case you're not familiar with tar.gz files.

First download the abovementioned file
then
tar -zxvf  openssh*.tar.gz

You'll see a bunch of stuff happening.
You'll now, in addition to the tar.gz file, have another directory called
openssh-3.1 something, or perhaps just 3.1
cd openssh*
from there, the stuff given above

./configure --with-pam --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh --prefix=/usr
make
make install
killall -HUP sshd
