man ssh ?
I see there is OpenSSH on SFE:
pkg:/network/openssh at 6.2.2-0.151.1.8
sfe                         origin   online F 
http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe/
sfe-encumbered              origin   online F 
http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe-encumbered/
I also think SFE accept contributions toward updating packages or could 
be built and installed locally.

Try also asking at illumos-discuss since there were some talks of 
killing sunssh (that unfortunately also kills Sun SPARC optimisations) 
and using OpenSSH.

Or try asking server admin of machine you are connecting to, to 
configure machine so it could be used.
