Well, that *would* be the ideal way to go.  However, usually problems
like this are related to CMOS batteries, and their eventual death.
I'm not quite as familiar with SPARC hardware as with x86 hardware,
but I suspect the problem to be similar.  I got these systems rather
cheaply from eBay, and as they are 10+ years old, I don't know how
much replacement hardware will be floating around.  ;-)

Be that as it may, I've managed to get the net-misc/ntp package
installed and configured.  It isn't so much the extra overhead of
running the ntpd that I was concerned about.  I just didn't want to
install apache2, php, and the slew of other "heavyweight" applications
that it was wanting to install.
