OpenSSH on FreeBSD is PAM-enabled if ChallengeResponseAuthentication is set
to yes:

     ChallengeResponseAuthentication
             Specifies whether challenge-response authentication is allowed.
             Specifically, in FreeBSD, this controls the use of PAM (see
             pam(3)) for authentication. Note that this affects the effec-
             tiveness of the PasswordAuthentication and PermitRootLogin vari-
             ables. The default is ``yes''.

Does your /etc/pam.conf disble password authentication?

Cheers - Erick
