No, it is not possible to not recompile the kernel if NTFS was configured.
You might see some very strange effects if you try... What is your problem?
Just recompile the kernel. Remember NTFS should be used read-only as write

I have a much improved NTFS driver but my Sourceforge linux-NTFS CVS is
down (for a week now!) so I can't release it at the moment. )-:
