One way that will probably work is to start ntp-client from
/etc/conf.d/local-start

local-start is the very last thing called during a bootup so if timing
is the problem this would be a way to skirt around it.

Just put whatever commands start ntp-client in /etc/conf.d/local-start
and see if it works.
