A head's up.

I've deprecated the rc.conf(5) variable "sshd_conf_dir" and gone back
to hard-coding the path (which is now "/etc/ssh") in /etc/rc.d/sshd.

The variable didn't provide enough flexibility; you couldn't override
the known_hosts files nor ssh(1)'s config by setting this variable
(both of those are defined at compile time.)

The postinstall script (/usr/src/etc/postinstall) checks for and
warns if this variable is set by /etc/rc.conf or /etc/rc.conf.d/sshd.
