Almost.
Look at /etc/defaults/rc.conf:
ntpd_config="/etc/ntp.conf" # ntpd(8) configuration file
ntpd_sync_on_start="NO" # Sync time on ntpd startup, even if offset is
high
ntpd_flags="-p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.drift"
# Flags to ntpd (if enabled).
99% of the cases you don't need ntpd_flags. Only if you want the drift file in
a different location or use one of the more obscure options.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
