There are ports of ntpd for win32k, but reportedly Windows 2000 makes
a lousy timeserver. You could always make one or more of the NetBSD
hosts the server(s). Check out <http://www.ntp.org>, for starters.
Besides the software for Windows, you'll also need to find a
netwise-close public time server. (There are a couple entries for
South Africa, at the bottom of the stratum 2 list.)

NetBSD ships with ntpd. NetBSD-current now has ntp-4.2.0, the latest.
There's a package for 4.2.0 for NetBSD-release, but if you've never
installed any software on NetBSD, you could skip that for now, as the
old version in the base system may be adequate.
