That would actually be a good way to detect which of your machines are
configured for NTP synchronization, and which aren't.

I'm not so sure. nmap would need a backtrack database of hardware
fingerprints stored to be able to use the technique. The paper also
doesn't mention if a proper ntp implementation (not sntp) in any way
prevents such identification although it's reasonably safe to assume
that it does.
