Same thing.  I ran into this a while ago, using a gpsclock 200 as the
source.  Check the netbsd-help archive...

I've sent off errors and such to jonathan@netbsd.org, who did most [all?]
of the ppsapi and ntp enhancements for -current.  I think he's got very
little copious spare time (tm), so I'm digging around in the mean time.

FWIW, I did some commenting out, and my clock is sync'ed up pretty
nicely.  I can send you the patches I made against 4.0.99i of ntp, if
you'd be interrested.  Note that it doesn't use hardpps(), but it still
works great on my ss5, 1.4.2.
