It's unlikely to be accepted, we try to keep the differences between 
OpenBSD's OpenSSH and Portable to a minimum.  This includes 
Portable-specific options.

Also, it's unnecessary.  To use different PAM stacks/services with the 
same PAM-enabled binary, all you need to do is "ln -s sshd othersshd".

FWIW the patch itself seems reasonably well done.
