If you read the README.privsep in the source directory (found in /usr/ports/
distfiles/openssh-3.3p1.tar.gz if you upgraded using ports) and follow the 
instruction.
You should have then a functional privsep :

bash-2.05a$ ps -aux | grep sshd | grep -v grep
root     178  0.0  1.3  2088 1180  ??  Is    4:40PM   0:00.20 
/usr/local/sbin/sshd
root   61294  0.0  1.8  4868 1656  ??  I     8:21AM   0:00.05 sshd: patpro 
[priv] (sshd)
patpro 61296  0.0  1.9  5000 1744  ??  S     8:21AM   0:00.14 sshd: patpro@
ttyp0 (sshd)
