ssh is in the base system, not normally installed as a port, and on
-STABLE that would give you "OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030924".  The
openssh port is currently at 3.6.1, and the openssh-portable port is
3.8.1p1.  Check where your current "ssh" command is coming from before
deciding whether and how to update it.
