You might want to try without network manager first.  I just have each
interface marked as dynamic in system-configure-network.  When
dhcpclient runs separately on each interfaces it does edit
/etc/ntpd.conf as expected.

I've always had good luck hacking chclient-script to echo/concatenate
all of its calling args along with a timestamp into a log file in
/tmp.  eg.

     echo "$(date) $@" >> /tmp/dhclient.log
