You can remove it from boot with:
rc-update del ntpd default

I stopped using ntpd and just put ntpdate in my /etc/conf.d/local.start file.

# ntpd doesn't work to well so use this for clock setting
ntpdate ntp0.mcs.anl.gov

not sure if this would stop the problem if it cannot connect to the server yet.
But ntpdate works better.
