This seems strange, the address should be that of a global variable in ntpd,
and thus should be properly aligned.

Could you instrument the code in src/sys/compat/netbsd32/netbsd32_time.c
and see if the EFAULT comes from the return (error); in line 155 and print
the pointer value?

Something like:

        if ((error = copyin(SCARG_P32(uap, tp), &ntv32, sizeof(ntv32)))) {
                printf("error %d pointer %p\n", error, (void*)SCARG_P32(uap, 
tp));
                return error;
        }
