Well, you can certainly configure NTP to not set the system clock and
read it only. That is "disable ntp" in the ntp.conf file. I am not sure
what you hope to accomplish by this, though. You can also configure
a local reference clock and no other servers and then NTP will not try
to set the system clock (at least modulo a couple of small blips when it
first starts up that I don't understand) and just serve that time out as
it is.
