Possibly it's a delay in bind being ready or maybe you don't have any
network access - the latter is common with ppp.

Try putting the following in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/waitfordns and make it
executable (untested)
#!/bin/sh
#
# PROVIDE: waitfordns
# REQUIRE: named
# BEFORE: ntpdate
. /etc/rc.subr
: ${waitfordns_enable:=yes}
name=waitfordns
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
stop_cmd=":"
start_cmd="waitfordns_start"
waitfordns_start(){
/usr/bin/dig +time=1 +retry=99 @127.0.0.1 google.com 2>&1 > /dev/null
}
load_rc_config ${name}
run_rc_command "$1"
