There has been a lot of discussion on this for the past year or so. A couple of things you might want to look at are:

http://www.whitedust.net/article/27/Recent%20SSH%20Brute-Force% 20Attacks/ and http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/

Deny hosts is a perl script that will interact with TCPWrappers (man tcpd) which is installed by default on OS X and will allow you to block the offending incoming connections on the fly. Other than that have good passwords. You may want to try changing the port SSH listens on. But if you are connecting from a variety of remote locations something like Deny Hosts should do the job for you. As always your milage may vary.

Best of luck,
