Install the port into /usr/local as you normally would (make sure LOCALBASE
is set to /usr/local), and then edit /etc/rc.conf such that

  sshd_enable="YES"
  sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/sshd"

You should probably also set sshd_flags to use the desired host key (most
likely in /etc/ssh).  This may not be necesary; I'm not entirely sure.

If you were to install the port over the BOS version of OpenSSH, you'd just
end up blowing it away the next time you did a system upgrade.
