One possible way to synchronise may be to telnet to the qnx server on port 13, from a terminal eg.
$ telnet qnx 13
This will dump the time on that system to the console, which you might be able to capture, pass through awk/sed or something like that and pass a number into the date command. At best it won't be as accurate as ntp but close enough for most purposes.
If you can't use date to set time, then either you have insufficient priviliges to do so (root) or the system needs to be reinstalled.

datetime.settimestamp
DATETIME.SETTIMESTAMP(3) 1 DATETIME.SETTIMESTAMP(3)
DateTime::setTimestamp - Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp
Object oriented style
SYNOPSIS
public DateTime DateTime::setTimestamp (int $unixtimestamp)
DESCRIPTION
Procedural style
DateTime date_timestamp_set (DateTime $object, int $unixtimestamp)
Sets the date and time based on an Unix timestamp.
PARAMETERS
o $object
-Procedural style only: A DateTime object returned by date_create(3). The function modifies this object.
o $unixtimestamp
- Unix timestamp representing the date.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the DateTime object for method chaining or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) example
Object oriented style
<?php
$date = new DateTime();
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
$date->setTimestamp(1171502725);
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
Procedural style
<?php
$date = date_create();
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
date_timestamp_set($date, 1171502725);
echo date_format($date, 'U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above examples will output something similar to:
1272508903 = 2010-04-28 22:41:43
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
NOTES
Using the Unix timestamp format to construct a new DateTime object is an alternative when using PHP 5.2, as shown in the example below.
Example #2
DateTime.setTimestamp(3) alternative in PHP 5.2
<?php
$ts = 1171502725;
$date = new DateTime("@$ts");
echo $date->format('U = Y-m-d H:i:s') . "
";
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
1171502725 = 2007-02-14 20:25:25
