Hi Todd, 

For 1.5 onwards, if you have "sshd=YES" in your /etc/rc.conf file
then the host keys should automatically be generated on boot or by
running "/etc/rc.d/sshd start".

Alternatively, I think you can start key generation with 
	"/etc/rc.d/sshd keygen"

If you need to do it manually, something like:
	/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f ssh_host_key -N ''
	/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -d -f ssh_host_dsa_key -N ''
should do the trick.

ciao,
