I've found a partial solution.  I'm now using,
    ntpdate time.apple.com time.windows.com time.nrc.ca ntp1.cmc.ec.gc.ca
where 'ntpdate' comes from NTP package.  Still, shell solution would be
desireable, because I sometime don't have access to Perl, Python, or NTP
packages.  But, I do have access to shell all the time.

I'll update when I find solution. :)
