In most cases it's unnecessary to change the port sshd listens on. If I could suggest some alternatives:

Additionally, do some searching on the forums - there are brute force mitigation techniques using PF that may come in handy.

How about
:
# jexec 1 /bin/csh
(where '1' refers to the appropiate jail ID, returned by
jls(8).)
That will drop you into a root shell within the jail.
