Is there anything relevant in your ntp.log file? Also check /var/log/messages (or whatever gentoo uses for daemon/kernel messages), particularly for for anything about 'ntp', 'clock', 'freq', or 'tick'. I imagine you'll at least have ntpd messages about frequency errors exceeding the standard tolerances. It's quite possibly a hardware issue - maybe a motherboard with a bios issue that is losing ticks, or some other hardware (I've seen it with some hardware raid cards) screwing up the clock ticks somehow. Do you have any interesting hardware in that box?
