There are two types of abusive behavior.  One is sending packets too fast to 
a single server.  You can get info on that with ntpq's mrulist command.  That 
assumes you are running ntpd and have set it up with a big enough list to 
hold the traffic long enough for your tools to capture the data.

I see things like this on a pool server using
  mru mincount=1000 sort=avgint

 lstint avgint rstr r m v  count rport remote address

The other sort of abusive behavior is to send reasonable traffic to an 
unreasonable number of servers.  That's what caused the recent blast of 
traffic to the pool.  I don't know of any reasonable way for server operators 
to detect this sort of traffic.
