Depends on what your Stratum-1 is syncronized to.  Some GPS time
sources pass on the leap indicator to NTP.  For example, the SiRF-3
GPS, connected by way of gpsd, to ntpd will pass on the leap second.

Yep, my ancient old SVeeSix has been showing the leap second for several
months; the notification it was added to the GPS signal a while back,
either at the start of the year or the start of the quarter (in theory,
leap seconds can be added/removed quarterly).
