No.

My *other* machines run stable (though a couple also sometimes run
head).  This machine runs releng/10.

Right.

I'm certain that I wouldn't have placed a "ports" sshd in /sur/sbin
(even had I installed one), and pkg reports negatively:

sisboombah(10.3-RELEASE-p7)[5] pkg info ssh\*
pkg: No package(s) matching ssh*
sisboombah(10.3-RELEASE-p7)[6] 

Thanks!

Peace,
