It seems to you are right. If you know that you go to you mashine
only from one or two IP, you can write it in your firewall. For
example, if you use ipfw:

ext_if=rl0
trusted_ip=1.2.3.4,3.4.2.1
ipfw add allow tcp from $trusted_ip to me ssh in recv $ext_if
ipfw add allow tcp from me ssh to $trusted_ip out xmit $ext_if

Or something else.
