Yes, you can tell ntpd to use the system clock as reference.
I have in my ntpd.conf:
---schnipp---
# use hw clock in case no servers available
server 127.127.1.0 # local clock
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
---schnapp---
That makes the system clock a valid source. The fudge line is there
to prevent ntpd from using the local system clock as reference unless
it's the only source available.
