Sheldon,
To the best of my knowledge it binds to all available interfaces, and I
never did find a config option to change that behavior.
But you can specify in ntp.conf(5) what address(es) it will accept clients
on.
e.g. if your lan was 10/24 you could specify something to the effect of:
broadcast 10.0.0.255 autokey
Hope this helps.
