Yes but not out of the box; you must install it:

Download fuse: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/
and compile with ./configure --enable-kernel-module

Download ntfs-3g: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/

make ntfs-3g suid (necessary if you want to have a mount entry to fstab
accessible by users).

mount your partition: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/ /mnt/windows

Get NTFS-3G:

which requires FUSE:

Hope this helps.
