Yes and no. The documentation is close for command line options but probably
far behind for drivers.

I discussed that with Poul-Henning, Peter and David. I do not think that it is
a good idea because:
- there are many differences between the two.
- if you don't use a refclock driver (the majority I think), there are few
chances that you overwrote what's in /etc/defaults/rc.conf which means that
conversion from xntpd to ntpd was immediate.
- if you do have a refclock driver, you'll need to read the documentation and
pointing to xntpd manpages won't help you.
I prefer a clean break like we have. I only kept the old manpages (i.e. didn't
delete them as I did for the binary) because we have a lack in this area. As
soon as I get some time, I'll work with Sheldon who offered to merge the new
documentation with the old manpages.
As a stop-gap, I'll put ASCII generated versions in /usr/share/doc/ntp.

I don't want to point to obsolete documentation. See above.
