 Good.  I suggest that this PR may now be closed.

 I chased this years ago and discovered that the ntpd '-L' option only
 ever worked on Linux (but I can't locate an authoritative reference
 right now).  This section of the ntpd code has been reworked in recent
 years and current versions use a configuration file 'interface'
 directive instead, which works on FreeBSD.  In order to select specific
 ntpd service addresses you will need to upgrade to a current version of
 ntpd (e.g. via ports net/ntp) and use the 'interface listen' directive
 in ntp.conf.
