Edit /etc/rc.conf and add the following line:

sshd=YES

Then edit the two configuration files in /etc/ssh (ssh_config and
sshd_config for the client and server respectively). The defaults are
probably what you want, although you may want to enable X forwarding.

Then go into /etc/rc.d and enter:

./sshd start

It should then generate the keys and start the sshd daemon. Of course
you will need to be root to do this.
