How about cooking up your own phony leap-second file?

The default file is from NIST:

ftp://time.nist.gov/pub/leap-seconds.3427142400

You can specify a new file in ntp.conf:

leap file
 	 Specifies the location of the optional leapsecond file. This
overrides the link ntpkey_leap in the keys directory.
