The ntp package is an implementation of NTP version 4, and is still experimental, although many people report good success with it. For all but very high load environments the xntpd that comes with freebsd will work, although the latest version of xntpd is more efficient and less buggy, so if you plan to serve a lot of clients or you're in a situation where every cpu cycle is important, you should use it.
