This is already the case. [1] updated openssl3 to 3.1.0 and [2] merged
right after it should have triggered a rebuild of openssh immediately
after. I am not sure why this did not happen for you, but not regularly
running 'upgrade outdated' can leave you in this situation. If you
ignore a pending update of the openssh port, there's nothing in
MacPorts' set of tools that would allow us to prevent this situation on
your system.

I recommend you regularly run upgrade outdated to fix issues such as
these.
