The best thing is that you go through the docu on the wiki. There are a
lot of different examples how you can do different stuff.

A good example for your current need is:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes/Monit

There is even an example for OpenNTPD:
http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/Recipes/OpenNTPD

but to start this might look a bit complicated, but after reading some
docu and getting used to puppet, you''ll see what it is doing.

There are other ntp examples as well:
