If he is setting up an NTP service and will have other systems getting time from his system then he would need those ports opened up. I would suggest he check the log files and look at output from ntpstat to determine why his clock is not syncing. Of course if the clock is way off it may take time to sync up. He may want to manually set it then enable NTP to keep it updated. NTP used to muck with the firewall on its own. I believe they fixed that finally.
