Hi Gilles,
ssh is part of the base system, not an installed port (by default anyway) so you won't see it with pkg_info which will only list installed packages. The config file is /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
To limit connections, you should be using the firewall. I do use hosts.allow too, but the firewall is your primary defence.
hth, Gary
