Guess so.  I can do a -q, too, though it specifies a null offset. 
Now, I did just run
ntpdate to a local timeserver, but I always expect to see microsecond
adjustments,
due to network effects if nothing else.  I saw only 0 values.  YMMV.

Note, NTP uses port 123 (my /etc/services specifies both tcp and udp, though I'm
suspecting it's quite capable of using tcp, since I've had no problems
doing this
behind a plain NAT setup).
