I was looking at this a few days ago. The problem is not that the man page is wrong, it's that the man page documents an entirely different tool. For some reason, FreeBSD provides it's own version of ntptrace which lacks anything but the basic functionality, whereas the man page installed is that of the ntptrace tool as supplied in the ntpd distribution. It would seem much more sensible to use the official ntptrace and retain all the functionality people expoect from ntptrace, although I haven't yet found time to get to the bottom of why this was switched over from the official code in the first place.
