Paul, please accept my apologies for a less than useful reply--I was a little rushed at the time.

In /etc/ssh/sshd_config set to "YES":

# Change to yes to enable built-in password authentication.
# Note that passwords may also be accepted via KbdInteractiveAuthentication.
PasswordAuthentication no

In /etc/rc.conf add--if not there already:
sshd_enable=YES

Then you can (re)start sshd:
# service sshd start

Hopefully I didn't forget anything. If I did, someone will let us know! :-)
