I was thinking about this a long time ago and instead of trying to 
change FreeBSD, I just added one simple file on each of our servers:


~/> cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd_reorder
#!/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: sshd_reorder
# REQUIRE: LOGIN sshd

## this file is just to start sshd earlier on the boot
## mainly before long starting processes like jails, mysql, apache etc.
##
## place this file in to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd_reorder
## and make it executable chmod 0555 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sshd_reorder


It is not perfect, because some services are still started before sshd.
