I think what you want is more like:

  cd /usr/src/secure/usr.sbin/sshd && make && make install

(You might need to do a full buildworld first.)

Don't be confused by any extra Makefiles you might see floating around:

    * the openssh source code is in /usr/src/crypto/openssh
    * the build harness for sshd is in /usr/src/secure/usr.sbin/sshd

The separation helps to address problems with updating OpenSSH
(which is, after all, being maintained by someone else) and makes
it easier to satisfy various cryptography laws.
