Do you really need NTP? An SNTP server is much easier to set up, and 
may be all you need. Search Freshmeat.net for msntp. It compiles to a 
tiny executable that runs both as a server and a client with no 
configuration files. I run it regularly through a simple cron job.

Run as server: "nohup msntp -S &"
Run as client: "msntp -r <server name>" 

Easy, no?
