It turns out I was wrong about my assumption, --enable-md5 appears to be
the default. Certainly the distribution config.h has
/* MD5 authentication */
#define MD5 1
in it and compiles some md5 code in
alpha:usr.sbin/ntp/ntpd 21> nm obj.alpha/ntpd | grep -i md5
0000000120041a20 T MD5Final
00000001200418a0 T MD5Init
0000000120041ac0 t MD5Transform

Have you tried to use MD5 keys?
