I dont think moving ssh from port 22 will stop portscans but it will stop
brute force attacks directly on port 22.
I prefer to just run denyhosts on my servers instead:
# eix denyhosts
* app-admin/denyhosts
Available versions: 1.1.2 1.1.2-r1 2.1
Installed: 2.1
Homepage: http://www.denyhosts.net
Description: DenyHosts is a utility to help sys admins thwart ssh
hackers
