The openssh port you want is security/openssh-portable (which is at version=
=20
4.6p). Unlike the obsolete and unmaintained openssh port, it also features =
an=20
option to overwrite the base system openssh. Note that while the openssh in=
=20
the base system might not be the latest version, it is maintained and FreeB=
SD=20
will provide security fixes for it if necessary.

Cheers,
