It is,

go to a searchengine and search for keywords like
"ntfs linux mounting fstab" it will give load of links
for instance:

It is possible to mount, however, you cannot write safely to an NTFS
drive, so keep that in mind. (i.e. make sure you mount it readonly)

Also bear in mind that this option available on the kernel level, that is,
you can't just download a program and make NTFS drives readable in Linux,
you generally have to compile it into the kernel (which isn't hard, just
cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig, select NTFS from your /file systems/
section, exit out to your prompt then make dep && make bzImage modules
modules_install)*

*NOTE: these are very basic directions, please read up more thoroughly on
how to compile a kernel on your distrobution, and check to see if NTFS
support is already included in your kernel. I am NOT to be held
responsible if you make your computer into smouldering pile of plastic.
