I've taken to doing this in various boxes in /etc/rc.conf:

  ntpdate_flags="`sed -n 's/^server \(.*\)/\1/p' < /etc/ntp.conf`"

just so I don't have two lists of time servers to maintain.

This presumes you would be running both ntpdate and ntpd, whic is
the way to go.

This is obviously very quick-and-dirty, but I just wanted to
introduce it as a possible tactic, especially if you have several
time servers you're maintaining...

Would something like this be worth putting into the base distribution,
maybe?
