I am now using net-misc/ntp-4.2.4_p3 and for 6 months or more ntp-client it has not been working. I believe that have even done an upgrade at some point with it still not working.

Paul Bradbury on the forums solved it for me. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-542225.html There is a mistake in the /etc/init.d/ntp-client script: need net after net.eth0 should be changed to: need net after net.eth0 That has fixed the problem for me.
@Brian, I think you have a different problem than the one I filed this bug about. Yours seems to have been fixed in 4.2.4-r1. My problem still exists, even with 4.2.4-r1.
This seems to be fixed in 4.2.4_p0 (or perhaps by baselayout 2.0.0_alpha2-r1 as I updated both at the same time -- I was at 1.13.0_alpha12 before this).
This is because of the way NetworkManager works. You need to setup NetworkManagerDispatcher. This isn't included/setup by default like it probably should be. I'll attach the init script, although it is really steev's work. You need to create /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d on you own, and populate it. Read the manpage for NetworkManagerDispatcher for more.
Created attachment 122503 [details] /etc/init.d/NetworkManagerDispatcher
Not sure how the net dependency should be handled by NetworkManager so assigning to Gentopia.
Yes, I need to add the NMDispatcher init script, I thought it was in there, but unfortunately, it was in Gentopia, which got deleted by Genstef during one cleaning session and I didn't realize it. Apps requiring net will need to do something in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatch.d - or rather, ones using specific IPs - NetworkManager however does *not* provide net when used with wireless since it sometimes requires user intervention (when connecting to encrypted networks) and requires a graphical display (for one of the applets) and since we can't say, xxx is the network card, provide net in the initscript, unfortunately won't work. Hopefully I will get to this tonight or sometime this weekend. Sorry for the delay!
that Dispatcher-Init-Script is still not included... :-/
It is now - Sorry, there were 2 bugs open about this, just noticed this one.
