You're right that there is a $ntp_pidfile variable in the %common section of rc.ntp. However, OpenPKG 2.2's ntp package now writes its pid file according to the config file ntp.conf. You should find one in your /opkg/etc/ntp, and can adjust the path and filename of the pid file there. Speak up if the ntpd binary running in daemon mode is not producing the pid file where you specify it in ntp.conf (making sure it has the necessary privileges to write to the path in question). This change in OpenPKG 2.2's ntp package has some drawbacks. Although the admin can change where ntpd writes its pid file (in ntp.conf), the variable $ntp_pidfile in rc.ntp is hardcoded to look for the pid file in /opkg/var/ntp. I'll look into ways of fixing this.
