it's pool.ntp.org, not ntd
It might be worth reading these:

Apple's PPC NTP client had a massive security hole. It was fixed with Mountain Lion, which of course isn't available for PPC Macs.
The TL;DR is: disable PPC NTP services. If you want to run NTP, compile a new version. However, this could be somewhat problematic for 10.1.2, as it pre-dates XCode, so the build-from-scratch instructions won't work.
All slightly tangential to the question, but it's best not to run older versions of ntpd on any system, or at least not point them at a public NTP server.

Yes, I believe it is. And there's a version for Tiger as well. The challenge is getting a fix for 10.0 and 10.1.
at that point I might recommend using a tiny portable ntpdate type implementation rather than a full ntpd, to be honest: most hobbyist uses don't really need anything more than "set time once at startup". There's a number of these.
This is mine (or perhaps I should say it's David Lettier's which I have mercilessly hacked), which should work on anything 32-bit with BSD sockets: https://codeberg.org/cheesestraws/aux-tinyntpdate - the primary goal of this was to work on A/UX but it's not doing anything particularly heinous.
I'm not claiming this is the best that there is, it's just the one I have to hand and I have reasonable confidence it ought to work on early OS X.
