Spot on Rainer, absolutely, you hit it on the head. All my ssh related commands were failing (and I kept on mixing openssl with openssh). Yes, my openssh was at 

	$port outdated openssh
	The following installed ports are outdated:
	openssh                        5.9p1_0 < 5.9p1_2 


Upgrading openssh fixed everything. Thank goodness I didn't force reinstall openssl or git.


Man, I hope this email thread saves others some grief.
