I asked this same question back in August of 1999. At that time nobody had
yet ported SSH to MPE. In addition, I got this response from Mark Bixby:

I would surmise from the assumed difficulty mentioned, and from the lack of
any announcement to the list since 8/99 regarding such a porting effort,
that the port has not yet been done, and that probably no one is even
working on it.

I actually downloaded SSH to my HP-UX machine with porting to MPE/iX in
mind. My first goal was simply to build it on HP-UX first to make sure that
that the build environment was good. It wasn't. There were so many problems
in the build script and default configuration that getting it to compile
even on HP-UX was going to be a major effort. So I completely gave up on
the idea of porting it to MPE/iX.   However, many out there have lots more
experience than I do in porting software to MPE. Perhaps they'd like to
give it a try???
