After one hour the frequency file is created and the current frequency offset written to it. Right. I should have been more clear. Even after 2 hours, there was no file. I suspected file permissions which is I used chown to set the file to ntp:ntp.

Re: [gentoo-user] System Clock Problems
If your system stopped suddenly the ntp.drfit file may have become corrupted. As I understand it this file has a value in it that tells the system how much drift there is in the system clock, and uses the figutre to compensate. If the figure is way out then the compensation will be way out. Take a look at /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift, if its seems like a large figure, then zero it and start again from scratch. ie stop ntpd, set the clock with ntpdate, then start the ntpd service again (preferably not while recording with mythtv LOL).
