And I'm guessing that (xntpd_enable="YES") or (ntpdate_enable="YES")
should be declaired in /etc/rc.conf ?

And the machine doesn't shut down very much at all, but running every 64
- 1024 seconds seems obsurd.  Perhaps I'm wrong ?

    If you boot your machine often, you may want to use ntpdate. It
    synces on startup only.

    ntpdate_enable="YES"
    ntpdate_flags="-b -t10 -u ntp1.example.com ntp2.example.com"

    If your machine stays up for extended periods of time, you would
    prefer ntpd, which synces every 64 - 1024 seconds.

    xntpd_enable="YES"
    xntpd_flags="-g -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"

    /etc/ntp.conf:
    server ntp1.example.com
    server ntp2.example.com
    server ntp3.example.com
