Nah, there's an option to ssh-keygen that spews out a properly formatted 
SSHFP record that I was looking for.  Based on what little info I have I 
wasn't able to format one manually.  There's very few examples out there.

Additionally, I think the client implementation here requires some sort of 
DNSSEC (does ANYONE use this outside of banks and governments?).

I think I'll try my luck with the security/openssh-portable.  I am just a 
little afraid of there not being a way to "backstep".
