That's what I get for not paying attention to what system I am on. I use MacOS X to connect to my FreeBSD system. The Mac has ssh 2.9 and the ssh-keygen -t. The FreeBSD system has 2.3.0 and the ssh-keygen -d option. Sorry to all for the confusion. The upshot is that you can make a DSA key with either one.
