Set /etc/localtime to your correct timezone before doing anything in 
your machine.
Remove /var/db/ntpd.drift before you reboot or restart your ntpd.

This is what I use in /etc/rc.conf:
+++
ntpd_enable="YES"               # Run ntpd Network Time Protocol (or NO).
ntpd_program="/usr/sbin/ntpd"   # path to ntpd, if you want a different one.
ntpd_flags="-p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /etc/ntp/drift -l /var/log/ntp.log"
+++

Check ntpd messages with dmesg.

If it does not work, this is one ntp.conf (change server to 
time.u.washington.edu or whatever is closer to you) that worked well for me:

+++++ BEGIN /etc/ntp.conf +++++++
# NTP configuration file
#
# Thu Nov 11 20:06:40 GMT+1 2004

restrict        192.168.1.0     mask 255.255.255.0 notrust nomodify notrap
restrict        127.0.0.1

# servers to query
#-------------------

server          clock.tix.ch

restrict        clock.tix.ch        mask 255.255.255.255 nomodify notrap 
noquery

+++++ END /etc/ntp.conf +++++++

Once you get synchronised with your time-server, you can consider 
changing minpoll  maxpoll to polite values.
