Assuming that you're using a minimalistic configuration: Yes.

ntpd would take almost three months to *gradually* eliminate (slew) one
hour of offset, so as soon as the
offset-from-hell-that-struck-us-out-of-the-blue-sky was confirmed, it
gave up all hope for the universe and "just set the clock" hard (step).
