Your rc.conf settings look OK; this error from 'ntpdate':

is most likely telling you that "2.netbsd.pool.ntp.org" is unable to be
resolved. Often this is a DNS config issue, sometimes a problem with
your system's network config, or possibly the local network itself (e.g.
if your gateway is off-the-air or something similar).
I was seeing the same on a Raspberry Pi with NetBSD recently. This
happens because dhcpcd goes into the background while waiting for an IP
address, so booting can continue. If the DHCP process is not done by the
time ntpdate or ntpd start running, you will get this message.
I solved it, by adding this line to rc.conf:
dhcpcd_flags="-w"
This will make dhcpcd block until it has an IP address assigned. Note
that this means the boot will take a long time when there is no network
for whatever reason.
