I was seeing the same thing on multiple systems, after running freebsd-update and then bouncing ntpd.  I rebooted one of the problematic boxes; ntpd then started cleanly.  I haven’t tested this across the board yet, though.

Config:

# freebsd-version -uk
10.2-RELEASE
10.2-RELEASE-p6

# uname -a
FreeBSD mybox 10.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE #0 r286666: Wed Aug 12 15:26:37 UTC 2015     root at releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64
