While I haven't been following the -security thread, I'm not sure if this is necessary. The OpenSSH in FreeBSD has received specific FreeBSD "localizations" to fix bugs that may have arisen. Also, the OpenSSH port in /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable now supports a OPENSSH_OVERWRITE_BASE make option to replace the base SSH installation. Just add NO_OPENSSH=true in /etc/make.conf, and you'll be set.
