Comment:

 Some kind of patches for `ssh-agent` were clearly necessary, since it no
 longer works.  I don't know about `sshd-session`.

 The `ssh-agent` situation is tricky, because the port has never provided a
 means for actually running it, so most users are probably still running
 the Apple version, even while using the MacPorts `openssh`.  But the Apple
 `ssh-agent` on older systems sometimes causes deprecation warnings (I'm
 not sure about actual failures), so running the more up-to-date version
 from the port is helpful; you just need to create your own LaunchAgent
 file (and disable Apple's).

 I've done that here, and after upgrading the port (and logging out and
 in), `ssh-add` hangs, though `ssh-agent` is running according to `ps`.
 Rolling back to `9.9p2_1` fixes it.

 Presumably the problem is that the upstream `ssh-agent` is incompatible
 with `launchd`, and the purpose of the patches was to fix that.  It might
 be more maintainable to create a wrapper program that would properly
 launch the unmodified `ssh-agent`; I don't know.
