best way to get sshd to re-read its configuration

I have a few boxes at home I'd like to get to using vnc, ssh and 
tunneling.  Not a lot of open ports from where I'd like to do this 
from so my thought was to ssh into whatever box I have listening to 
on 22, ssh into whatever box I want to talk to from the first box and 
change the port sshd listens to.  Then change the router to point to 
the box I want.

I did a test run today.  I tried -HUP with kill thinking that would 
restart sshd and reread the change in port I made to sshd_config.  No 
joy.
