My /etc/conf.d/ntpd(sans comments):
NTPD_HOME=/var/empty
NTPD_OPTS="-s"

My /etc/ntpd.conf:
servers pool.ntp.org

And my /etc/ntp.conf:(relevance unknown):
restrict default noquery notrust nomodify
restrict 127.0.0.1
restrict 68.221.103.40 mask 255.255.255.248
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 3
server 127.127.1.0
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
logfile /var/log/ntp.log

Make sure to rc-update add ntpd default.
Hope this helps.
