I myself simply run it. It works more or less out of the box.

Well, a man adjtime produces:

ADJTIME(2)                NetBSD Programmer's Manual                ADJTIME(2)

NAME
     adjtime - correct the time to allow synchronization of the system clock

No, and perhaps its a good idea, but the code doesn't need to be
"ported".

What would certainly be a good idea would be the incorporation of Dave
Mills' kernel PLL code into NetBSD, which would dramatically increase
clock accuracy when used with ntp -- however, I haven't looked at
whether this could be done cleanly.
