[ntp:hackers] ntp servers via DHCP

Has anybody looked into making ntpd get its server(s) via DHCP directly 
rather than having something external rewrite ntp.conf?

I found a gentoo wiki/HOWTO page on this area.
  http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_NTP

It looks like dhcpcd (DHCP client daemon) is what does the rewriting, or did 
it on older systems.  Newer systems (may?) use NetworkManager and/or D-BUS.  
I don't know anything about them.  (yet?)
