You need to add:

# REQUIRE: sshd

to the rc script  in /usr/local/etc/rc.d that you want to start after sshd.

Another option is to create a dummy script:

#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: FAKESCRIPT
# REQUIRE: sshd
# BEFORE: <name of script your want to start after sshd>

#       This is a dummy dependency, to ensure that general purpose daemons
#       are run _after_ the above are.
