Sun's xntpd is about ten years behind the times. Download the current production version of the NTP distribution from http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Main/SoftwareDownloads

I tried to avoid that because it would place ntpd outside the normal patch process. Therefore I googled before I posted and checked if I could find known problems with Sun's xntpd. I didn't found any mentioning of an oscillation problem.

It was just mentioned that Solaris 8 always slews the clock and "disable pll" was recommended. (That did not help, as mentioned.) As far as I understand, the behaviour at my system might be due to a too large frequency error. Would the update to a current ntp version really help in that case?

Nope. If it is too large, it is too large, and there is no way
for NTP to deal with that, old or new.
