Somehow you need to get the tarball onto the machine - how you do that is entirely up to you. When you've got the source leave it in it's original form (source.tar.gz) and place it in the "/usr/ports/distfiles" directory. After that - hop over into "/usr/ports/whatever/ssh" and run make install. Good luck.
