I also have my /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd for that:

-8<------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

if [ -x /usr/sbin/ntpd ]; then
  if [ -x /usr/sbin/ntpdate ]; then
    /usr/sbin/ntpdate balrog
  fi
  /usr/sbin/ntpd
fi
-8<------------------------------

Since a few years, ntpd has the option "-g" which no longer would make it 
necessary to call ntpdate before ntpd. However, I still stick to my old 
school way of starting ntpd. I keep the stock /etc/rc.d/rc.ntpd script as 
non executable, but in many cases that script would do the job today.
