Daemons are usually started using launchd on Mac OS X. For openssh, this
uses the plist file located at
/etc/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.OpenSSH.plist. The wrapper scripts
listed there also take care of generating the necessary host keys.

The port command has a thin wrapper around launchctl to make this easier:

 sudo port load openssh
 sudo port unload openssh

Just curious, why don't you use the builtin sshd of Mac OS X?
