Me too, I downloaded compiled and installed earlier this
morning on NetBSD-6/i386.

When I was on dialup, I used chrony on linux from mid 80s
then on MetBSD and FreeBSD from 1997 to 2005. My internal
network used ntpd and had no problem with that getting time
from the router running chrony.

I might try to search out an old chrony.conf as I still used
it on my laptops for a while after 2005.
