HTTP Host headers are not even seen by the firewall unless some type of Deep Packet Inspection is running or the firewall is the destination and runs a proxy to the other servers. The alias method suggested will not work in this case (as you found) because pfSense does not check the host headers.

If you are forwarding the ports to other machines, it is those machines which need and update, not pfSense. This is the test: get out your ssh client of choice and connect to the port from outside. If you get something that is not pfSense, then upgrading ssh on your firewall isn't going to help.
