ntpd can easily track SI seconds or "angle time" seconds. The differences are small enough over a day to be easily amortized.
It would not be all that difficult to create an NTPv5 protocol (for example) that would include "timescale" as a parameter. There may be a way to do this using the v4 protocol, but I haven't thought about it at all. But that's pretty easy - there are other issues afoot here, like regardless of how one syncs time between machines, if one collects a timestamp on a box, what timescale is that timestamp in? What about storing these timestamps? Displaying their values? Comparing them with other timestamps from possibly different timescales?
