Just about all the software from GNU and the Free Software Foundation installs in /usr/local by default. So, for years now I have set up my Solaris systems with an extra disk partition for /usr/local, thus keeping the Sun stuff and the non-Sun stuff separate.
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the "ntpd -c <path/file>" option (see http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpd.html#cfg and http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/ntpd.html#files). This option enables you to specify the location of the configuration file; default is /etc/ntp.conf. ntpd -c /home/joah/ntp/ntp.conf should work just fine, if that's where you want to put your config file.
