This is not so much an NTP question as a NAT question. The usual type of NAT works on UDP and TCP because they have source ports. The original source IP address and port are remembered along with the translated source IP address and port (on the gateway), and when traffic comes back to the translated source IP address and port, the gateway knows where the original packet came from, and forwards the return packet to that same place. So yes, it will work fine. But you can save a hop and all the translating by running NTP un-NATted on the gateway. (And the gateway was in fact the only place anyone ever questioned my logging timestamps.) Of course, if the gateway came out of a blister pack, this may not apply.
