We sell NTP time servers with IPv6 support since two years now (see
http://www.meinberg.de/english/news/news_040501_001.htm) and they are
using the reference implementation of NTPv4 from Dave Mills / University
of Delaware since then.
Quite a number of our customers use them in an IPv6 environment, so I
can safely confirm that NTPv4 over IPv6 has been demonstrated and tested
numerous times.
Regarding the second part of your question: AFAIK the Feds ask for IPv6
support for all new systems they purchase, but I do not know if they
require their users to go for NTP when it comes to network time
synchronization.
Best regards,
Heiko
