The following should be all hardcoded default locations:

CONFIG_FILE "/etc/ntp.conf"
NTS_CERT_FILE "/etc/ntp/cert-chain.pem"
NTS_KEY_FILE "/etc/ntp/key.pem"
NTP_VAR "/var/NTP/"

The following should be all of the files that have default/autoconfig locations:

/etc/ntp.conf
/dev/acts%d
/dev/cuaa1
/dev/gps0
/dev/gps%d
/dev/gpspps%d
/dev/hpgps%d
/dev/jjy%d
/dev/modem%d
/dev/null
/dev/oncore.pps.%d
/dev/oncore.serial.%d
/dev/palisade%d
/dev/pps%d
/dev/refclockpps-%u
/dev/refclock-%u
/dev/spectracom%d
/dev/trimble%d
/dev/true%d
/dev/zyfer%d
/var/NTP/%sstats

The following should be all the configuration directive that accept
file/directory paths:

driftfile driftfile
filegen name [file filename]
includefile includefile
keys keyfile
leapfile leapfile
logfile logfile
nts [cert file] [key file] [ca file] [cookie file]
refclock drivername [path filename] [ppspath filename]
server nts [ca file]
statsdir path

If there was I forgot it too easily.
