Frank, 

It sounds like you have 1.5.2 or so?  As of 1.5, IIRC, NetBSD included
ssh.  Like most system binaries, it's parked in /usr/bin, and its
configuration files are in /etc.  There are two configuration files, one
for the daemon, sshd(8), and one for the client, ssh(1).  

It looks like you installed the ssh package after that.  pkgsrc binaries
get parked in /usr/pkg/bin, configuration files in /usr/pkg/etc.  

To "get rid of" the old (non-pkg) version, remove/rename the binaries in
/usr/bin.  I suppose you'd want to do the same to the man pages
(/usr/share/man).  

As for the configuration files, /usr/pkg/bin/ssh will use
/usr/pkg/etc/ssh_config.  Once you've removed /usr/bin/ssh, the /etc files
won't have any effect other than confusing you, because .  Personally, I
like to forget what's a package and what's not, so I make symbolic links
from /etc to /usr/pkg/etc (or vice-versa).  That way, if I'm looking for a
configuration file, I can just look in /etc.  

I don't have OpenSSH_3.2.3p1; I'm using a much older version.  To be
certain which configuration file is being used, see "man -a ssh", paying
close attention to the location of each file, so you know if you're
looking at the page for the built-in or pkg version).

HTH.
