I had once a problem with ntpd, when also running named. Some hostname
resolution failed, because the servers were started in the wrong order.
Are you also running named?

I use:
  ntpd_enable="YES"
  ntpd_flags="-g"

And here I use:
  driftfile /var/db/ntpd.drift
  pidfile /var/run/ntpd.pid
  server nr1.time.server
  server nr2.time.server
  server nr3.time.server


Does that help you?
