Comment(by bcbarnes at gmail.com):

 Ah, if it's not entirely obvious by now, my concern I suppose has more to
 do with the openssh port than the git-core port.  Perhaps the openssh
 maintainer should be cc'd on this if he is not already.  Removing the
 dependency for the git-core port mitigates the problem for me right now
 (and I'm entirely happy with that change), but anyone installing openssh
 via macports is subjected to my security concerns talked about above.  I
 do not know what other ports, if any, require the openssh port as a
 dependency.
