In fact, pf can already do this out-of-the-box, by doing something like:

table <sshlusers> persist
pass quick on $wan_if proto tcp from any to any port ssh flags S/SA keep
state \
     (max-src-conn 15, max-src-conn-rate 5/3, overload <sshlusers> flush
global)

If that is not an option, I have found that security/denyhosts works
pretty well too (it just adds IP's to /etc/hosts.deniedssh, and
host_access(5) denies them based on this)
