But only do so if you want to look like a complete moron.

(from a box with a recent ports tree)
dogfish# ssh -V
OpenSSH_3.8.1p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004

OpenSSH 3.8.1p1 is the latest version available from OpenSSH.

The ports tree included with a -RELEASE is the ports tree for that
release.  It isn't going to be changed.  If you want ports more recent
than the release date, update your ports collection.
