The fix is quite simple:  Add

# BEFORE: mail

to /etc/rc.d/sshd

I tried to submit a PR on that about a year ago, but it never seemed to make it 
into the PR system.  Many of my servers are remote and if there is an issue 
with a port, I still need a way into the system other than driving for hours.  
This works.  Sshd is started early in the sequence and I can at least ssh into 
the server.  It won’t help though if there is a syntax error in /etc/rc.conf.  
Those are pretty much fatal.
