PS: I had a spare disk so I tried Linux on the same machine, and ntpd is running fine for 2 days without any problems; so I guess it's not a hw fault
It is a HW fault. FreeBSD and Linux are just picking different time sources, Linux is guessing right, FreeBSD is guessing wrong. AMD actually has pretty widely known issues with this. I've had problems mostly in Solaris/OpenSolaris though, a few with FreeBSD, and only rarely with Linux. I don't know the details, just that at least the Opteron HPET apparently isn't reliable.
