I found a ftime using archie that was coded up for BSDI. I've contacted
the author and he's happy to let us use it for 386bsd. I've included the
source below.
The author's mail address is:

/*
* A reimplementation of the 'deprecated' ftime
* system call using modern BSD 4.3 and later calls.
* Note that under BSDI/386, the kernel runs on UTC
* time so we cannot really use the time zone info
* from the gettimeofday system call. Therefore we
* use the localtime library function which does
* all appropriate conversions.
