Dave, When dealing with launchd, I use LauchControl [1]. It is an app that provides a clear GUI for dealing with launchd and launchctl.
You can use this to turn off Apple’s ntpd (under System Daemons) and if necessary, tweak any ntpd launchd settings MacPort provides. However, sudo port load ntp should be all that is needed, once any config files have been edited.
