It shouldn't matter.. sshd only runs keygen if the files aren't there.

Sample from /etc/init.d/sshd:
        if ! test -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ; then
                echo Generating /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.
                ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''
        fi

So if you drop your keys into place before it runs, it'll see them and
not run ssh-keygen anyway.
