Read the man pages for ntpdate(8) and xntpd(8).  Enable both in /etc/rc.conf
and then set their command line parameters in the same file.

Why both?  Because xntpd can only adjust your clock in small increments.  If
your CMOS clock is waaay out, you'll need ntpdate to adjust your time on
bootup, and xntpd to keep it in sync thereafter.
