I have always done something like that with my system, since openbsd's nntpd doesn't seem to be able to update the time initially when it is too far from the current date. A more flexible solution (while still quick'n'dirty) would be to put the date of the last shutdown in a given file and, in the hwclock script, see if it such a file (like, say, the files in /etc/default/) is readable and update the clock from that, while, otherwise, falling back to a date like yours.
