[ntp:questions] Updating ntpd OSX10.4

Hello list, I hope I have the right place to ask this :)
 I've installed Macports ntp @4.2.8_0 on my OSX10.4 machine (without
 upgrading dependencies as I don't want gettext breaking bash...). It's
 built without apparent error and only needs 'sudo port load ntp' to be
 included in the boot sequence. Before I go ahead, what should I back up
 in case it breaks the system? I assume I can stop and then rename
 /usr/sbin/ntpd before rebooting, but what else? And what's the worst
 that can happen? Are there tests I can run without rebooting?
Regards,
Geoff
