i'm using openssh-portable from ports, and it works fine,
perhaps you need this in sshd_config as default ?

SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO

this is a possible script to use :

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/sbin/portsclean -CD
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /root/bin/ports-supfile
# /usr/local/sbin/portsdb -uU
# changed this (line above) because making the INDEX takes really long
cd /usr/ports/
make fetchindex
# these last 2 lines needs to be 1 line :
/usr/local/sbin/portversion -v | /usr/bin/grep needs | /usr/bin/mail -s
