I Advise Strongly against using a different port for SSH. Especially a port 
like 443 which by default is used by apache and other webservers. Some 
Webservers might refuse to launch depending on their configuration.

Yea there are some Chinese Bot nets that scan for open SSH Ports and try to log 
in with root. I have them on every SSH capable server which is Internet 
reachable. They don't only scan 22 but also 666 or 1337. But they only make 
tries with weak default passwords like 12345. 

If you want to block them I suggest the Tool fail2ban. I use it on my Linux 
boxes and it works like a charm. There also seems to be a Port for snv_134 
https://github.com/jamesstout/fail2ban-0.8.4-OpenSolaris but I haven't tested 
that.
