The NET4521 has the on board High performance timer so the PHK high
precision PPS hack will work. 
My first NTP server was done with one of these boards as it was what I
had handy. 
I still have it so can send you a photo of the mod for this board if
needed 
However the 4521 only has one serial port leaving you with a choice
between a console and a GPS input. 
I chose console and used an external NTP clock for coarse time 
I guess if one was to add a PCI / mini-pci serial port this issue could
be solved 
 

My current NTP servers are made out of NET 4501's one of which has the
clock block mod.
It's time to move with the times, make sure you compile IPv6 in
there ;-)
