The net/ntp-dev port provides 4.2.7p255, so I would expect anything obviously 
wrong to have been seen by others.  This implies the issue is more specific to 
your config or maybe the type 30 Oncore driver.

Also, ntpd appears to be crashing immediately upon startup, rather than some 
unpredictable amount of time later, which ought to be much easier to debug.  
Run it under gdb, or enable coredumps and run gdb against the corefile produced 
by the SIGSEGV, and get a backtrace. This will contain better information if 
ntpd was compiled with debug flag (-g).

PS: By the way, your posting was notably better than the average, in terms of 
providing lots of info about the exact version of ntpd and platform being used, 
and the logging it produced.  There have been threads where I couldn't figure 
out either without needing to ask...
