The recommended way is to leave everything where it wants to live, and
change your /etc/rc.conf file so that it invokes the one in
/usr/local. ie:
/etc/rc.conf:
sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/sshd" # path to sshd
The advantage of this method is that when you upgrade your system, any
sshd coming off the installation media won't clobber your
ports-installed one.
