OpenSSH won't overwrite existing hostkeys, and I'd be surprised if the SSH Communications package did. So ... if you're using OpenSSH, then my guess is that you configured it with defaults -- and got what Jonathan describes above, which means it doesn't know where your original keys are. Copy them from /etc/ssh to /usr/local/etc, and you'll be back in business. Alternatively, rebuild it using './configure --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh'.
