for outbound connections to an ntp server, you shouldn't need to open
any port at all.
if you think you need an open port for others to connect to your time
server...
# grep ntp /etc/services
ntp 123/tcp
ntp 123/udp # Network Time Protocol
snipped other stuff
but you need to consider the issues of security if you open the port for
others to connect
