Cannot say yet.
I found out that adding an entry NTPSERVERS to 
/var/run/netconfig/NetworkManager.netconfig by hand let netconfig find 
and set ntp server.
Because in NetworkManager there is already code to set DNSSERVERS, which 
is somehow transfered into /var/run/netconfig/NetworkManager.netconfig  
and I added similar code for NTPSERVERS, which works for me.

If your question is still relevant please let me know. In this case I 
need to dig more into the way opensuse deals with setting dhcp options.
