Hey, the solution is easy:

[michael@calchas michael]$ /usr/sbin/pkg_info |grep openss
openssl-0.9.6nb2    Secure Socket Layer and cryptographic library
openssh-3.0.2.1     Open Source Secure shell client and server (remote login program)

This works very fine. Just delete the files in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, which
belong to the onboard OpenSSH, copy the start/stop-file to /etc/rc.d, and
everything works ok. For the newer OpenSSH, you need the following line in
your /etc/mk.conf to get used by your builds:

USE_OPENSSL_VERSION=0x0090602fL

Since i upgraded, i never had problems any more. You can even enable S/Key in
this, but you have to patch one source file then. Done here also.
