Sshd is part of the base, system. Not the Kernel.

You're not entirely clear ; "System files" are (re)compiled when you
make a buildworld, which is basically 'rebuild the entire OS from
source'.

I only have 1 thing to say ; If it ain't broken, don't fix it. You won't
gain much by running OpenSSH 3.0.2. The default SSHD has been configured
, tried and tested. It's the safest bet.

Check your $PATH. OpenSSH from ports is installed in /usr/local/bin (or
sbin?). You just need to have that path before /usr/bin. You could also
simply create an alias for ssh and have it point at the new version.
Hope this clarifies a bit.
