Sure. Recent packages put the config files for openssh in "/etc" by
default (rather than "/usr/pkg/etc") to make the migration easier.

More troubling will be the libraries: "openssl", "intl", "curses"
(which now does for "ncurses" in a lot of packages), and the new
libraries installed with XFree 4, including "xpm", "mesa", and
"freetype". You should pkg_delete, then rebuild, everything that
depends on "openssl", "gettext" or "gettext-lib", "ncurses",
"freetype", "xpm", or "Mesa" or "Mesa-*". That's a lot of packages,
and 1.6.1 has a better compiler than 1.5.2, so you probably ought
to just rebuild everything.
