http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ is always the best place to start 
looking for network time clients and servers. OTOH looking there just 
now it appears to have been rearranged and not as useful for finding 
clients other than their official ntpd.

Vremya is a Mac utility I have used in the past. Run at boot out of the 
Startup Folder as its an application and not an INIT or CDEV. This 
seems to be its home now: http://allmacintosh.xs4all.nl/preview/206331.html
