Not within NTPd itself.  You could go with manually stepping the time in 1s
intervals.  It's either that or drop the securelevel in rc.conf and reboot (then
reset the securelevel).

Of course, you probably want to make sure the hardware clock has a vaguely
accurate idea of time.  That'll help in future.
