In general, the 770 ports don't have any man pages or documentation installed. At least I modify my packages to remove this stuff (since it seems to be the standard).
For things like ntpdate, look at the applications catalog and go to the "home page" if listed. That will have info on running or using the application. It should be the same on the 770 (the differences are documented in the applications catalog or the "port page").
Worst case, try google.
BTW, I think your problem is that ntpdate is in /usr/sbin and that's not typically in your path. You may need to be "root" to run this application.
Hope this helps,
Brad.
Also FWIW... I've got a ntpdate port almost ready that doesn't require you to run anything from the command line.
