The %post section is definitely where you want your commands.
I'd combine the sed commands in points 1 and 2, but that's a small nit
picky suggestion.
( You forgot to escape the space before 60000 in the first sed expression
you provided. )

sed -i -e 's/#Port\ 22/Port\ 60000/'  -e's/#PermitRootLogin\
yes/PermitRootLogin\ yes/' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Though I will note there is some sort of syntax error with the
PermitRootLogin sed expression (present in the original you provided). I
spent a moment looking at it and the problem with that second expression
evades me right now. *grumble*
