I completely agree with this, however my NTP whinge is that the NTP port 
needs to have its own RC init script that is independant of the base. If 
you use WITHOUT_NTP=yes in /etc/src.conf to remove the base version and 
just use the port then there is no RC script. You have to copy the 
version from /usr/src/etc/rc.d/ntp into /usr/local/etc/rc.d. This should 
be fixed. I guess this wouldn't be too difficult to do. I said six 
months ago that I might look at submitting a patch to do this, maybe I 
should actually do it.
