Thanks Kent you were right about the kernel config file.
I was able to rebuild the kernel and install it with no problem.
The problem with build world still occurs though:

o/openssh -c /usr/src/lib/libpam/modules/pam_ssh/pam_ssh.c -o pam_ssh.So
building shared library pam_ssh.so
/usr/obj/usr/src/i386/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -lssh
