multiple options here.
You can use a post-script to do exactly what you have pasted above:
http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/createprofile.scripts.html

you can use the <files> section to let autoyast copy that content to the right 
place:
http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/createprofile.completeconf.html

you can use the autoyast UI to configure the NTP like you want and let 
autoyast do the configuration

freedom of choice :)

you should use rules for that:
http://www.suse.de/~ug/autoyast_doc/rulesandclass.html

rules can put multiple XML snippets together to one complete file, depending 
on things you can only know during installation time.
