 I highly doubt it... Given the requirements for
http://home.mit.bme.hu/~khazy/ptpd/ (namely, NIC having 1588 hardware
assist -- while the R-Pi4 provides a faster network interface, I doubt it
includes special hardware at this price point -- the 82580 chip is $17
alone when ordering 200+ units).

 Software-based ptpd appears as an option even in Stretch-based
Raspbian...
