You could limit port 22 with pf, ipfw etc. This would slow all you ssh
traffic rather than just sftp which may or may not work for you. If you are
clever with your rule sets you could guarantee bw for certain hosts so they
dont loose a functional ssh session and/or you could bw limit it by source
ip, rather than a global limit for port 22.
