An example going the other way: recent versions of the OpenNTPD package (4.x) are not available in a portable flavor, because they use a system call that's not available on Linux (I forget what it's called and can't quickly find it right now, it's something like adjtime()).

On linux the syscall is adjtimex(), which should provide equivalent functionality as ntp_adjtime(). If not, I'd like to hear more about it.

...and if it is adjtimex, pretty sure that's been taken care of too...
(for example, see debian bug 593429)
