You can download the source
<http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Main/SoftwareDownloads> and build it
yourself or download a pre built version
<http://www.sunfreeware.com/>. Building your own gives you full
control but requires a C compiler, make, etc, etc. You can download
gcc, gmake, etc, etc, if you need the tools to build the package.
