I found a tip in VirtualBox helps,
and the trick seem to solve the problem.
But, I am not sure this is the right solution.

The trick is, on OpenSolaris (the host system), to type the command.
$ VBoxManage setextradata "My VM name" "VBoxInternal/TM/TSCTiedToExecution" 1
The FreeBSD VMs no more need ntpd to sync the clock.

Regards.
