I've started looking at it, and agree that things are "not optimal".  My
first thought was to create a tar file of the current cvs version (I've
got an openssh-19991118.tar.gz) and put it on ftp.au.netbsd.org where
we don't have export controls (I've still to ask core member and ftp.au
owner Luke if this is ok!), and have the package retreive that.  I got
as far as typing "make install" in pkgsrc/security/openssl before I went
to sleep last night :-)

I'd still need someone to test RSAREF and kerberos support (all the US
type thingies) - would you be able to do that?
