I don't think you're using the kernel PPS signal, so you may not have
compiled the kernel with the PPS_SYNC option. This is what you should
see, notice the "o" and mentions of PPS in kerninfo output (this
output is from my system at gauss.kenyonralph.com):

% ntpq -p -c clockvar -c readvar -c kerninfo
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
