ntp is in /usr/ports/net. At some point in 4.x it was moved to the base system. From the thread in the security list, it seems to go back to 3.4. xntp is the older version(s), the name was changed along the way. I believe it is just a later version of David Mill's package. He may even be responsible for the name change. Patches and updates are being developed. In the meantime, if you are not testing a patch (like me :) ntpdate can be used in the mean time.
