My machine loses between 45mins and an hour a day on average.  When the
object is to keep server uptime high, this can become a real problem.
Losing an hour a day when the average uptime on my machine is usually over
30 days is not the best thing in the world.  It hasn't been a real issue
because nothing I do on the machine really needs the correct time although
correct time/date in e-mail, logs, etc would be cool.  If you find the page
on setting up xntpd, please let me know :)  

Out of curiosity... what exactly keeps NetBSD/mac68k from keeping correct
time?  Is the problem simple or extremely complex?
