I think the "official solution" is to run vmware-toolbox with the "Time syncrononization" (spelling from the tool <grin>) miscellaneous option selected. Not ideal if you don't want a logged in X session, but it's one answer. Otherwise, I'd guess cron is your friend. ntpd restart or just go with ntpdate every 1-5 minutes?
