The source/responsible code for the printing is in function
clock_ts_to_ct() in:

src/sys/kern/subr_clock.c


181 void
182 clock_ts_to_ct(struct timespec *ts, struct clocktime *ct)
183 {
...
214         if (ct_debug) {
215                 printf("ts_to_ct(%ld.%09ld) = ",
216                     (long)ts->tv_sec, (long)ts->tv_nsec);
217                 print_ct(ct);
218                 printf("\n");
219         }

So what's ct_debug?

 52 #define ct_debug bootverbose

Are your systems booting verbosely?
