Did the config files get updated?  Usually an error that says something
is deprecated means you're trying to pass obsolete options to the
program.

RELENG_4_3?  Should be OpenSSH 2.3.0, what was it before? 
Make sure both machines agree on which protocol to use.  
It also looks like your pam config files are out of whack.
I have never used FreeBSD, but on an OpenBSD system, I would do something
like:
diff -u /etc/sshd_config /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh/sshd_config
and 
diff -u /etc/ssh_config /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh/ssh_config
and look at the changes.
Do the same type of thing for the pam configs.  (OpenBSD doesn't
have pam; I don't off-hand remember the setup for Linux :)
If that doesn't turn up anything, move the ~/.ssh directory to 
~/.ssh.old for the user(s) you are testing connectivity with on both
machines.  See if something there is causing problems.
