 I understand that without drift information the time won't be accurate to
 the rest of the world but I really only want local synchronization.  If not
 I can use the port easily enough, but I was wondering if there's a tweak I'm
 missing somewhere.

Would timed meet your needs?

 Hi all, I'm running a network simulation offline and wanted to have all the
 computers synchronized to a single time source. It's easy to set up the
 machines to query a central OpenNTP server but without an accurate time
 source that central OpenNTP server won't serve.  The full ntp uses
 127.127.1.0 as a local clock source and allows the machine to serve with
 only that as its source.Is there similar functionality or a dummy sensor
 device in /dev I can use?

No, there isn't.
