You mean Brian Kernighan's awk.  FreeBSD already uses that.
(When talking about changing FreeBSD, please look at -CURRENT or
at least 5.x, not 4.x.)

That's still under construction and not in production use anywhere.

OpenNTPD only supports a tiny subset of the features of Mills ntpd.
While the idea behind OpenNTPD is to be good enough for the large
majority of people, you can't just treat it as a replacement.  It
also doesn't deal well with local clock drift yet.

(Yes, I think FreeBSD will eventually want to adopt OpenNTPD and
return Mills ntpd to ports for those few time keeping maniacs who
need it, but I'm not sure I want to advocate that at this point in
time.)
