And I'm guessing that (xntpd_enable="YES") or (ntpdate_enable="YES")
should be declaired in /etc/rc.conf ?
And the machine doesn't shut down very much at all, but running every 64
- 1024 seconds seems obsurd. Perhaps I'm wrong ?

If you boot your machine often, you may want to use ntpdate. It
synces on startup only.
ntpdate_enable="YES"
ntpdate_flags="-b -t10 -u ntp1.example.com ntp2.example.com"
If your machine stays up for extended periods of time, you would
prefer ntpd, which synces every 64 - 1024 seconds.
xntpd_enable="YES"
xntpd_flags="-g -p /var/run/ntpd.pid"
/etc/ntp.conf:
server ntp1.example.com
server ntp2.example.com
server ntp3.example.com
