I have same error. You and I are probably using another shell (tcsh)
than what they assume here (bash ?).
I ignored all the rc.conf, sshd_program and sshd_flags stuff, because
I don't need them. Check your rc.conf file and do it manually:

# kill `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`

# /usr/sbin/sshd
or
# /usr/sbin/sshd [your sshd_flags here]
