You can set up an 'ip set' in your packet filter subsystem. A firewall rule listens incoming packets and if destination port is UDP 123 then it adds the source address to the set. You can configure a default expiry time (e.g. 3600 seconds) for the ip set. After this time entries will wiped out unless another incoming packet from the same address arrives. So each time you list the content of the set you can see the clients of the past hour.
