You probably have a Port setting in the global section of .ssh/config
or /etc/ssh/ssh_config

Either add sections for the hosts which need this nonstandard port and
move the "Port 2224" there - various wildcards can be used, see ssh_config(5)
- or provide an override for anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org e.g.

Host anoncvs.ca.openbsd.org
  Port 22
