Thanks!
I installed openssh-portable and that worked.
I did have to create symlinks from /etc/ssh to /usr/local/etc/ssh and
/usr/sbin/sshd to /usr/local/sbin/sshd. In my case, the sshd_program
line in /etc/rc.conf didn't force the system to use the portable sshd as
opposed to the base. Thus, I commented out the line and just used a
symlink.
Thanks, again!

I've tried both the port and package. The install program doesn't
complain that there is no /etc/ssh. I had assumed that it would create
it but it evidently does not.
The system does ask for entropy upon the next reboot but the generation
of the keys and startup of sshd fail since there is no /etc/ssh.
If the install program doesn't create /etc/ssh, what does and how do I
get it back?
first of all, /etc/ssh is the config-home of the "base" ssh that comes
with FreeBSD by default (so you can use "make world" to get it back")
however the openssh-portable port is storing these config-files
in /usr/local/etc/ssh, if you want to switch to the port instead of the
base-system ssh, then do the following :
sshd_enable="YES"
sshd_program="/usr/local/sbin/sshd"
(see also : /usr/share/examples/etc/defaults/rc.conf)
after this is working well, imo it's a good idea to
remove /usr/sbin/sshd and /usr/bin/ssh* and /etc/ssh (or
replace them with symlinks to the port-binaries etc.)
