I do not understand the USE switch they are talking about, but having
make options (if not there already) such as: client, server,
install_client, install_server and the default continues to be both
"sounds nice" if not too much effort is involved.

IMO it's very easy for packaging script that build OpenSSH to choose
what subsets of the binaries and supporting files to install. For
example Debian and Redhat have been doing this for >10 years. I don't
think it's necessary to add this to our build infrastructure, sorry.
