I had another look and we should be able to override this in
/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf. The configure flag just sets FallbackNTP= in
the default /usr/lib/systemd/timesyncd.conf. One of the reasons I chose to
add an option for it is because ntp.org has some restrictions regarding the
use of their servers and wants you to register as a vendor with them if you
plan to ship a product/appliance/distro. What does Buildroot currently use
for other NTP/SNTP packages?

Thanks,
Gabe
