If in the future, MTC is defined (Mars Time Coordinate) ntp will

simply to have ntp defined with MTC.
I could see some issues if e.g. the length of years, days, were different?

"A mean Martian solar day, or "sol", is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244
seconds"
NTP has no concept of hours, minutes, days etc., except in terms of the
handling of leap seconds. The second hasn't been defined in terms of
earth rotation since before NTP was invented.
