I've just tested theses packages with ARAnyM ans EasyMiNT.
Updating the system using RPMs works is too easy ;-)
rpm -U openssl-0.9.8j-1.m68kmint.rpm openssh-5.2p1-1.m68kmint.rpm 
openssh-clients-5.2p1-1.m68kmint.rpm openssh-server-5.2p1-1.m68kmint.rpm

The SSH server just works.

I have generated my server keys:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

They I defined a password for the user root:
passwd

Then I ran the server from a TosWin console:
/usr/sbin/sshd -D

Then I ran PuTTY on Windows and I entered the IP address of the ARAnyM 
virtual host. I entered the login "root" and the password previously 
defined. And "voilà!" ! I'm in the MiNT bash shell from my Windows terminal 
window :-) I can even get a colorized directory listing by typing "ls -l 
--color=auto" :-) I guess I'll never use again the TosWin console.

The ssh client works, too, but it is unusable. When connected to another 
host, I get the well known "stairs effect". CR is not inserted before LF as 
expected. The same occurs when using the ssh client from a PuTTY terminal 
window. So this problem is not related to the TosWin console.

I noticed this problem often occurs with UNIX software compiled for MiNT. 
Some automatic translation may be missing somewhere.

So except that bug, it works fine.
Keith, thank you for your work :-)
