Unfortunately we don't have the resources to build packages for the 
limitless variety of Linux distros
out there. OpenNTPD like OpenBSD itself is open source so that people 
can compile it for whatever
they want to run it on. If you can't find a package out there, you will 
have to prevail on the people
that make the packages for OpenWRT (is openwrt.org really one 
organization, or two different ones,
one that makes kernels a certain way and another that builds packages 
that won't run on those
kernels?). And if that fails, you may have to read up on how to 
cross-compile under Linux,
unless your WRT router is powerful enough to run GCC on. Either way, we 
can't help with this.
