Looks like you can't change NTP port directly but you can use iptables to redirect UDP:123 requests to your actual target UDP port your NTP servers are running at.
Take a look
here for few examples.

I've been tasked to implement ntp on my SCO Unix servers. I have over 600 servers spread across the US in different time zones. Each remote server has network connectivity to a main server here, through their local ISP. (That's how we currently deliver mail to them).
My question is, how can... (5 Replies)

Hy,
I'm having problems with NTP synchronisation on one of the machines wich runs SCO 5.0.5Eb.
It should synchronize with one RedHat machine in local network, but it doesn't (all other machines are fine). It just falls behind after a while.
In /etc/ntp.conf i have only this entry:

synchronize
synchronize(1m) synchronize(1m)
NAME
synchronize - Causes the DTS entity to synchronize the clock on the system where the command is entered.
SYNOPSIS
dtscp synchronize [set clock boolean]
ARGUMENTS
Specifies whether the clock is abruptly set or gradually adjusted to the computed time. This argument is optional. The following values
are valid: The clock is gradually adjusted. This is the default condition. The clock is abruptly set.
DESCRIPTION
The synchronize command causes the DTS clerk or server to solicit time intervals from servers, compute the intersection of the time inter-
vals, and adjust the system clock to the midpoint of the computed time interval. This command overrides the functions of the synchroniza-
tion hold down characteristic.
Privilege Required
You must have write permission on the ACL associated with the DTS entity in order to execute the command.
NOTES
The synchronize command does not execute if the entity is already synchronizing or is disabled; the entity must be in the on state.
This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for the entity, followed by a gradual clock adjustment: dtscp> synchronize
The following example shows how to initiate a synchronization for the entity, followed by an abrupt reset of the clock: dtscp> synchronize
set clock true
