If you can't solve your problem otherwise, I recommend
you install zsh (also from /usr/ports), and then make a
symlink zsh -> ksh.  When zsh is invoked with the name
ksh, it emulates the behaviour of ksh.  I just tried it,
"set -o vi", and it seems to work perfectly well.

(zsh also has a lot of additional features, far beyond
what you can do with ksh.)

Best regards
