You could also just put:

sshd_flags="-o X11Forwarding=no"

into your /etc/rc.conf file.

Pretty much all of the rc.d scripts support the use of NAME_flags being
defined in /etc/rc.conf, which are passed as extra commandline arguments
to the daemon. You should generally check /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see
what you might be clobbering. A small number of scripts may override
this feature from the library, breaking this method, but it's pretty
widely supported.
