I forgot what the maximum is that ntpd can handle, but yes, it looks
like the drift is just too large.

You could try a different kern.timecounter.hardware setting, but
on such an old machine there is probably little choice.
$ sysctl kern.timecounter.{hardware,choice}

Another idea that comes to mind--I've never tried this--is to preload
an adjfreq(2) value into /var/db/ntpd.drift.
