I've no problem with that and ntpd here starts faster than 
many other services I run that are started via rc.conf.

My own /var/log/ntp/ntp.log has nothing and /var/log/messages
just confirms I don't have a problem so maybe the OP should
give some more details.

The answer to his question is probably to disable ntpd in
rc.conf and run a script from rc.local but that would just
move the problem elsewhere.
