easily.
xntpd on the masquerading server will use connection tuples that look like:
localaddr:123 <--> remoteaddr:123
whereas an ntp client on a masqueraded host will use tuples that look like:
localaddr:61000-65096 <--> remoteaddr:123
your ipchains rules probably accept the latter but not the former.
