If you know of an NTP server near you, you can just run (as root):
ntpdate SERVER
replacing SERVER with the hostname or IP address of the NTP server.
This will only synchronize your time once, though. If you want to
continuously keep the clock synchronized with the time server, you will
have to use ntpd. The simple /etc/ntp.conf I made for testing clock
synchronization with two NTP servers around here is:
disable auth
server ntp.ntua.gr
server ntp.duth.gr
restrict 0.0.0.0 noserve
Then, I enabled ntpd in rc.conf:
$ grep ntp /etc/rc.conf
xntpd_enable="YES"
ntpdate_enable="NO"
