Phil,

When updating I follow the instructions here:

   http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/FreeBSD-GPS-PPS.htm#update

The instructions under "Updating NTP to a later version" you need to do 
just once, so see where they fall over and let us know what the error 
message is.

The later instructions under "Updating the updater - telling portmaster 
about a newer version" are what I do each time I update to a new release 
of the development version.  These are under FreeBSD 8.2 but I imagine 
they would also work under 8.1.  I keep a copy of the current binaries 
on a remote FTP server in case an upgrade goes wrong.  Essentially 
that's the files I compiled before in "/usr/local/sbin/ntp*".

I could put my current version binaries into a Zip file and upload it 
for you to try, if you like.
