I have now enabled ACPI on one machine (making the computer more
unstable) and it has stopped drifting. ntpd was disabled for this
test. Now that it shows it stopped drifting I have enabled ntpd to see
if that causes problems.
On another machine I have left ACPI disabled and restarted ntpd (with
-g) and exactly 6 hours later I got:
Mar 21 16:44:13 ntpd[19918]: time reset +3521.285507 s
Mar 21 16:44:13 ntpd[19918]: kernel time sync disabled 6041
I tried looking in timex.h to see what 6041 ment but I could not figure
out if 6041 is a mode code or status code.

Interesting. Were all the upgrades from versions less than 5.3
I wonder? Reason I ask is that many people (including me) seem to
have started having problems with ntp around that time. There was
a thread in the stable mailing list about it here:
http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20050401104508.GJ71384
Perhaps the ntp problem is related to what you're seeing and not
an ntp problem at all. Someone raised a bug report at ntp.isc.org
https://ntp.isc.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=452
but it has had no action.
Sorry it's only a hunch and not a solution.
Versions were 5.3 or 5.4 upgraded to 6.0 or 6.1
