I also saw similar a couple days ago on NetBSD/i386 2.0.2, but not a 
kernel thread.

USER  PID %CPU %MEM  VSZ   RSS TT STAT STARTED   TIME     COMMAND
mail  268  0.0  1.9  708  1740 ?? Ss   11:26AM   0:-3.36 /usr/pkg/sbin/exim -bd -q30m (exim-4.44-1)

The rc.conf has ntpdate=YES and also runs "/etc/rc.d/ntpdate start" once 
each night.
