An init script for the ntp client would be a good idea, as it makes sense to
sync the 
local clock when the system is booting. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

the init script that already exists has the option to run ntpdate at boot and
thus set the clock once ...

Yes, but it still starts ntpd and requires existance of /etc/ntp.conf 
I just want the system to sync the clock at boot and not have a ntpd running.

ntp init script

You want to put the script (attached) in ebuild?

rather than using the given script i split the old ntpd.rc file into ntpd.rc
and ntp-client.rc ...

basically same functionality but a lot less headache :)

`rc-update del ntpd`
`/etc/init.d/ntpd stop`
`rc-update add ntp-client default`

and call it a day :)

oh, and this is in ntp-4.1.2, not 4.1.1
