I have:

/sbin/chkconfig ntpd on
echo 'server 130.226.184.8' >/etc/ntp.conf
echo 'driftfile /var/lib/ntp/drift' >>/etc/ntp.conf
chmod 644 /etc/ntp.conf
echo ' ' >>/etc/ntp/ntpservers
echo '130.226.184.8' >>/etc/ntp/ntpservers
echo '130.226.184.8' >>/etc/ntp/step-tickers

in the %post section of the .ks file. Replace the IP numbers as needed.
