net/openntpd has an rc script if you don't mind switching.  It is very
very simple to configure.

Ideally the original problem should be solved too but I ran into the
same problem with Kerberos.  I didn't get anywhere in the bug report
where I argued the system scripts still worked fine except for recent
changes in them causing a regression and failure with the port.  Both
situations could probably use a contributed patch to make an rc script.
