Do you have any idea how to get in touch with
whoever is the FreeBSD port maintainer for NTP?

It would be great to find out why it is done this way.

Also, I'd like to find out if the port maintainer 
could help update the NTP port so that this 
broadcastclient problem could be solved with the
regular FreeBSD port, rather than having to do
everything manually.
