Doing a quick search in the ntp source code:

[root at epia ntp-stable-4.2.0a-20060224]# grep PPS_API_VERS *
configure:#ifdef PPS_API_VERS_1
configure.in:#ifdef PPS_API_VERS_1
configure.in.nomd5lib:#ifdef PPS_API_VERS_1

In configure we find:

cat >conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
/* confdefs.h.  */
_ACEOF
cat confdefs.h >>conftest.$ac_ext
cat >>conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF
/* end confdefs.h.  */
#include <sys/timepps.h>
#ifdef PPS_API_VERS_1
yes
#endif

No hits in ntpd subdir.
