I've discovered there was PR filed on it back in 2012 (ports/174263), but
apparently swills@ got sidetracked, so it was not committed until now.  I
have added it as of r350635.  Unfortunately, it does not work on PowerPC,
at least for me it dies with ``Could not open any NTP socket'' message on
startup. :-(
