Thanks! I took the low road and made the changes to rc.conf, rebooted, and now everythings come up current. I see the problem was that sshd was compiled (or something) in with the kernal... Also, maybe you can answer some of my newbie questions in regards to your response: (1) when you say "system files", are these files complied with the kernal? or are they kernal modules? or are they something else? I haven't really wrapped my head around this. (2) you mention that I could remove the sshd files manually, but would it then be possible to re-integrate the latest version of OpenSSH as system files again (effectively replacing the old files in /etc/sbin?) (3) the changes I've made do not affect the ssh client. When I type # ssh -V ... I still get the old version. Where is ssh initialized? How do I upgrade the client too?

Nope: the port installs in /usr/local like most ports; it won't touch the base system files. You can either remove them by hand and set NO_OPENSSH in your /etc/make.conf to prevent future world builds from rebuilding them, or just leave them and set your PATH variable to use /usr/local/bin first. To tell FreeBSD which version of sshd to run at startup use the sshd_program variable in /etc/rc.conf.
