On a FreeBSD machine we use to help support the NTP Project, in
/usr/ports/net/ntp, looking in the Makefile, I see:
MAINTAINER= cy@FreeBSD.org

It's a FreeBSD standard. Frankly, it doesn't bother me at all.

He will just tell you to update your port definition. The port
definition I have is for version 4.2.0, and is fully current with our
latest release.
Also note that 4.2.0 was recently integrated into the FreeBSD 5.*
tree, so if you pick up one of the FreeBSD 5.3-BETA tarballs, that
will bring you up to current. This version may also be incorporated
into the upcoming release of the 4.* tree, if that has not yet
already happened.
We have a pretty good relationship with the FreeBSD folks, and
they tend to track things like ntpd pretty closely.
