In general, there is no cost to untap, so the question doesn't
come up.
If you have an effect (like Derange, Detection, Kindred Society
Games, Restructure, etc.) that says that the vampire doesn't
untap as normal and also give the vampire the ability to pay a
blood to untap during his own untap phase, then he can benefit
from the hunting ground and then pay to untap.
The "untap as normal" is the first thing that happens during an
untap phase - everything else can be ordered.
Some cards, like Whispers of the Nictuku, make the "untap as
normal" cost additional blood, however. These effects cannot
be paid with hunting ground blood, since they increase the
cost of "untapping as normal", which happens first.
