I don't think /etc/ssh/sshd_config is the default not intended to be edited. I am on FreeBSD from 4.x times and it was always supposed to be modifed by users and was handled by mergemaster or etcupdate. If freebsd-update cannot deal with it then it is a bug in freebsd-update. All in all pre-installed /etc/ssh/sshd_config has almost everything commented out because defaults are built in. Kind regards Miroslav Lachman
