No, I think you actually have to tell xntpd separately to enable one of
the server modes.  I think you want to put

server xx.yy.zz.qq 

where xx.yy.zz.qq is the server to sync this server from, in your ntp
configuration file.  (hold on a sec.  I have that in *my* config file...
oh well, one of our routers is a stratum 2 server, so I use it :)

Do see the xntpd(8) man page for full details. I don't quite fully
understand setup of xntpd; it's not well documented, to be honest.

Also see the NTP home page:
