You are very close probably...

Suggestions would be appreciated.

Check you /etc/rc.conf file, it probably has lines somewhat like this:

NTPD_ENABLE = YES
NTPD_PROGRAM =/usr/sbin/ntpd

while the default installation from "make; make install" will put your new ntp* executables in /usr/local/bin.

I fix this by stopping ntpd, doing 'rm /usr/sbin/ntp* ;rm /usr/bin/ntp*', fix the NTPD_PROGRAM entry in rc.conf and then restart the process.
