ntpd doesn't have that functionality I'm afraid. The next best you can do
is review your /etc/ntpd.conf 'restrict' rules carefully and implement a
firewall to control access to port 123/UDP. NTP is not usually counted as
much of a security risk, and the benefits of running it certainly do outweigh
the risks.
Cheers,
Matthew
