I provides a simple summary of ntp. You could get the same info by
running two commands `ntpq -p` and `sntp apple.time.com` and parsing the
output. But `ntpstat` is simpler. (There are very few software programs
for ntp). If you do not think there is any value in adding `ntpstat` to
Macports at this time,
No no, it's good, let's add it. Just making sure that the fact that it
wasn't already in MacPorts wasn't the only reason you were contributing
it. The fact that you actually use it and it serves a useful function for
you makes it worth adding.

That presents a slight difficulty in deciding which of the two should be
added to MacPorts as "ntpstat" and what the other one should be called in
MacPorts. But, since you already propose a portfile for the original
ntpstat here, and it claimed the name first, it seems reasonable to
proceed with your original portfile and to tackle what the shell-based
ntpstat might be called in MacPorts at a later time, should someone want
to add it later.
