Have a look at Chapter 19.11 (NTP) in the FreeBSD Handbook.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ntp.html

I don't recall if the handbook mentions this, but you can schedule ntpdate to 
run periodically via a crontab entry, in addition to running at startup.

Hope this helps.
