I've got ntpd running under 5.4 without any problems, but my config 
is very simple.  Below is the configuration I use, maybe it'll help, 
maybe it won't.

ntp.conf:

server 217.204.76.170
server 64.112.189.11
server 66.69.112.130
server 66.187.233.4
server 80.85.129.25
server 80.237.234.15
server 130.60.7.44
server 134.99.176.3
server 198.144.202.250
server 202.74.170.194
server 204.17.42.199
server 204.87.183.6
server 213.15.3.1
server 213.239.178.33
server 217.114.97.97

clientlimit 100


and in rc.conf:

ntpd_enable="YES"
ntpd_flags="-A -p /var/run/ntpd.pid -f /var/db/ntpd.drift"


If you don't want just anyone to be able to connect, drop the -A from 
the flags.
