Is there a way to upgrade OpenSSH 5.9 from OpenSSH_5.6p1 on a MAC?

There are certain security holes that are obviously populated in OpenSSH 5.9. I tried downloading the openssh-5.9.tar.gz file from the openssh website, but I don't know how to use the source code to update the version on my mac (10.7.3). Is it doable or is it that the apple will need to be updated with the release of the next version of the lion?

  ssh -v
OpenSSH_5.6p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8r 8 Feb 2011
usage: ssh [-1246AaCfgKkMNnqsTtVvXxYy] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
           [-D [bind_address:]port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile]
           [-I pkcs11] [-i identity_file]
           [-L [bind_address:]port:host:hostport]
           [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec] [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port]
           [-R [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path]
           [-W host:port] [-w local_tun[:remote_tun]]

install macports, a system for installing and updating software packages on OSX ( http://www.macports.org ). Then just " sudo port install openssh"

Openssh ports will be installed in /opt/local/bin.
