Let's have a contest for the most hairy scripts that start ntp!  I use
xntpd, tickadj, and ntpdate.  Here's my script:

#! /bin/sh

NTPDIR=/usr/local/etc

if test -f ${NTPDIR}/tickadj
then
	${NTPDIR}/tickadj -A -q
	(echo -n ' tickadj')
fi

if test -f ${NTPDIR}/ntpdate
then
	${NTPDIR}/ntpdate -bs \
		tuna.berkeley.edu \
		anchovy.berkeley.edu \
		belch.berkeley.edu \
		sardine.berkeley.edu \
		shark.berkeley.edu \
		sigh.berkeley.edu \
		grunt.berkeley.edu \
		smelt.berkeley.edu
	(echo -n ' ntpdate')
fi

if test -f ${NTPDIR}/xntpd -a -f ${NTPDIR}/xntp.conf
then
	${NTPDIR}/xntpd -c ${NTPDIR}/xntp.conf
	(echo -n ' xntpd')
fi
