Go to System Preferences -> Sharing, enable Remote Login.

In System Preferences under Sharing is an option for "Remote Login".

This will run sshd at startup (through the launch-daemon) and enable SSH access with standard options. To tweak the sshd options, edit /etc/sshd_config (you'll need to do this in a sudo shell or via "sudo vi /etc/sshd_config").
