Personally I hate holes in my firewall, they're insecure.
NTP protocol in itself in not a secure protocol. It's a
little better if you
are using advanced authentication methods.

If you've got a decent switch or router inside the network,

that can access the internet, setup a NTP Stratum 3 server
there.
set your PIX time off that switch/router.  I run all my
servers and desktops
500+ off my NTP server running IOS on a 4006. There is
minimal overhead.

ntp master 3
ntp server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx prefer

then on your pix set
ntp server  source inside

no holes in the firewall.
