Public Key and Host Based Authentication

I am using OpenSSH v 3.4p1 on Solaris 6 (Sparc) compiled from source. I need to do an either or authentication. It used to be (using SSH.com sshd) that I could set up a set of AllowedAuthentications like this

AllowedAuthentications          publickey,password
AllowedAuthentications          hostbased,password

This would allow me to specify a list of hosts who were allowed to connect, providing they had the correct password. It would also allow a host which wasn't in the allow list to connect by public key/password.

Is there a way to do this in OpenSSH? I have looked through the man pages, but can't find anything conclusive. It looks like I can allow PubkeyAuthentication and Passwords, but not make any combinations. Also the only way I have found to filter out unknown hosts is through TCPWrappers.

Thanks
