Possibly, the tcpd USE option is by default in your make.defaults meaning it is in your global USE variable so unless you put -tcpd in your USE link in /etc/make.conf sshd was compiled with tcp wrapper support and yes then these files could be your problem. That is unless you have some sort of other firewall in place either at your system at home or your work is filtering your outgoing traffic in some fashion. One quick way to test things would be to try and telnet to whichever port you are running ssh on and see what happens. I'm not sure if the Windows telnet client supports that or not but it would worth a try.
