/etc/defaults/rc.conf should be:

Code:
kern_securelevel_enable="NO" # kernel security level (see init(8)),
kern_securelevel="-1" # range: -1..3 ; `-1' is the most insecure

Also that the setting in rc.conf overrides that in /etc/defaults/rc.conf ?
Yes to both, /etc/defaults/rc.conf should _NEVER_ be modified, all modification should be done in /etc/rc.conf.

To clarify, i don't need line:

Code:
kern.securelevel=2
in /etc/sysctl.conf
No, this sets the securelevel to 2 ... But the best way to do this is with rc.conf, and setting it in two different places makes no sense, so this line should be removed.

Changing entry in sysctl.conf and moving openntp entry above kern_securelevel="1" in rc.conf resulted in time being set correctly on boot.
It doesn't matter in what order the variables are in /etc/rc.conf

This should still give me secure mode?
Yes, you can check with
% sysctl kern.securelevel
