How are you going to run an NTP server that doesn't listen on any
IP/port?

He might want to use it only for syncing, but ntpd also has such sort of function irrc. Anyway, OpenNTPD can do privilege separation, that ntpd can't, I don't know about another difference in the functionality. Personally, I use OpenNTPD from ports and I'm satisfied with it.
