S/Key is a technology for one time passwords (OTP). Basically, you carry around a little device (that can fit on your keyring, usually), that generates passwords, in sync with the server you're trying to authenticate to. Each password is used once, and then thrown away, and a new one generated by the little device. That you're now recieving the S/Key Password prompt would either suggest two things: 1) You need to see the administrator of the FreeBSD machine you are trying to log into. 2) You need to tell ssh (client) to try and use another authentication technology. Perhaps you just need to regenerate some RSA keys for yourself (using ssh-keygen). Using the -v flag to ssh should show you what's heppening. Hope this helps.
