I did try a "portmaster ntp" which seems to be building at least a

Try 'portmaster ntp-devel'

Thanks to Kenyon and yourself for that suggestion, Steve. It worked perfectly.

I must say that I was rather surprised to see Perl being recompiled just for the earlier NTP update, though. Everything which would take a few seconds on Windows with Dave Hart's ready-built .EXEs appears to take 15-60 minutes on FreeBSD because of all the recompilations which are involved....

windows runs on just one platform, badly.

The BSDs run on a very wide range of architectures
currently only bested by Linux ( afaik )

BSD ports is portability by source distribution.
