I guess it wouldn't be too hard to just take the base system script, 
make some minor changes, and add it to the port. Would probably need to 
call it something different to ntpd though so it doesn't conflict. The 
openssh port does this I think with ssh in the base and openssh in the 
port. I might look into it and submit a PR.
